# Introduction to NetBird
|
|
|
|
<YouTube videoId="CFa7SY4Up9k" />
|
|
|
|
NetBird is an Open Source Zero Trust Networking platform that allows you to create secure private networks for your
|
|
organization or home. We designed NetBird to be simple and fast, requiring near-zero configuration effort and leaving
|
|
behind the hassle of opening ports, complex firewall rules, VPN gateways, etc.
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
NetBird is an **[open-source](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird)** project and can be self-hosted.
|
|
See a comparison between the self-hosted and cloud-hosted versions [here](/selfhosted/self-hosted-vs-cloud-netbird).
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
There is no centralized VPN server with NetBird - your computers, devices, machines, and servers connect to each other directly over a fast encrypted tunnel.
|
|
It creates a high-performance point-to-point [WireGuard®](https://www.wireguard.com/) overlay network that connects machines running anywhere in just a few clicks.
|
|
|
|
It literally takes less than 5 minutes to deploy a secure point-to-point VPN with NetBird.
