Firewall sprawl. VPN bottlenecks. Broken access when workloads move.

@netbird on Vultr makes secure connectivity simple with peer-to-peer WireGuard networking, built-in TLS provisioning, and fast deployment through the Vultr Marketplace.

IT'S FINALLY HERE - if you're self-hosting NetBird you can now enable MFA for your local users. An extra security step for those who don't use an embedded IdP.

@boycott_seattle @plex Time will tell 😉

[Brandon Hopkins @TechHutTV]

Wow thanks for the clarification @plex 😅 the point is in good faith no one can recommend this anymore.

[Plex @plex]

Seeing some confusion out there, so let's clear it up: Monthly and Annual Plex Pass prices are NOT changing.

Already have a Lifetime pass? You're good forever. We're only adjusting the price for new Lifetime purchases starting July 1.

[Brandon Hopkins @TechHutTV]

@boycott_seattle @plex It's not like its going to go from $120 to $80 like previous Black Fridays.

If you have not had a chance to update to v0.71 you're missing out on IPv6! Be sure to head over to Settings > Network and pick your IPv6 enabled groups.

[Brandon Hopkins @TechHutTV]

@RaidOwlTweets Ayoooo crazy

[Brandon Hopkins @TechHutTV]

@AWizardDarkly Those are out ;)

[Brandon Hopkins @TechHutTV]

Sorry for the delay, but IPv6 in NetBird is here :)

[Brandon Hopkins @TechHutTV]

Coming soon at an @UnraidOfficial server near you. :)

[NetBird @netbird]

NetBird v0.71 is out, and it ships one of our most requested features ever

IPv6 overlay addressing.

Every peer can now receive both a v4 and v6 address. DNS, ACLs, exit nodes, network routes - all of it follows along. Nothing about your existing policies needs to change.

[Brandon Hopkins @TechHutTV]

@Adam0306 @netbird Local MFA. Merged into main. Just waiting for a release :)

[Brandon Hopkins @TechHutTV]

Coming to a @netbird self-hosted near you 👀

[Brandon Hopkins @TechHutTV]

Super pumped for @lfnw! Taking the train up there.

Cloudflare Mesh just launched. We ran real iperf3 benchmarks across NetBird, Tailscale, and CF Mesh on the same machines, same conditions.

The results? It depends on where you're connecting.
Here's what we found. A thread.

#KubeCon Amsterdam is here! The NetBird team is ready to talk zero-trust networking, WireGuard, reverse proxy, and everything open-source mesh VPN.

If you're building out your cloud native networking stack or just want to geek out about secure connectivity, come find us at Booth 951 in the Solutions Showcase.

[NetBird @netbird]

New video + written guide is up! We walk you through self-hosting NetBird with Authentik as your identity provider. SSO, MFA, and we use NetBird's built-in reverse proxy to expose Authentik. No Nginx, no Caddy, no extra proxy stack.
