**NetBird combines a configuration-free peer-to-peer private network and a centralized access control system in a single platform, making it easy to create secure private networks for your organization or home.**
**Connect.** NetBird creates a WireGuard-based overlay network that automatically connects your machines over an encrypted tunnel, leaving behind the hassle of opening ports, complex firewall rules, VPN gateways, and so forth.
**Secure.** NetBird enables secure remote access by applying granular access policies while allowing you to manage them intuitively from a single place. Works universally on any infrastructure.

### Quickstart with NetBird Cloud
-- Download and install NetBird at [https://app.netbird.io/install](https://app.netbird.io/install)
-- Follow the steps to sign-up with Google, Microsoft, GitHub or your email address.
-- Check NetBird [admin UI](https://app.netbird.io/).
-- Add more machines.
+- Download and install NetBird at [https://app.netbird.io/install](https://app.netbird.io/install).
+- Follow the steps to sign up with Google, Microsoft, GitHub or your email address.
+- Check the NetBird [admin UI](https://app.netbird.io/).
### Quickstart with self-hosted NetBird
-> This is the quickest way to try self-hosted NetBird. It should take around 5 minutes to get started if you already have a public domain and a VM.
-Follow the [Advanced guide with a custom identity provider](https://docs.netbird.io/selfhosted/selfhosted-guide#advanced-guide-with-a-custom-identity-provider) for installations with different IDPs.

Follow the [Advanced guide with a custom identity provider](https://docs.netbird.io/selfhosted/selfhosted-guide#advanced-guide-with-a-custom-identity-provider) for installations with different IdPs.
**Infrastructure requirements:**
-- A Linux VM with at least **1CPU** and **2GB** of memory.
-- The VM should be publicly accessible on TCP ports **80** and **443** and UDP port: **3478**.
-- **Public domain** name pointing to the VM.
+- A Linux VM with at least **1 CPU** and **2 GB** of memory.
+- The VM should be publicly accessible on TCP ports **80** and **443** and UDP port **3478**.
+- A **public domain** name pointing to the VM.
**Software requirements:**
-- Docker installed on the VM with the docker-compose plugin ([Docker installation guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)) or docker with docker-compose in version 2 or higher.
-- [jq](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) installed. In most distributions
- Usually available in the official repositories and can be installed with `sudo apt install jq` or `sudo yum install jq`
-- [curl](https://curl.se/) installed.
- Usually available in the official repositories and can be installed with `sudo apt install curl` or `sudo yum install curl`
+- Docker with the Compose plugin (Compose v2 or higher). See the [Docker installation guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
**Steps**
- Download and run the installation script:
```bash
export NETBIRD_DOMAIN=netbird.example.com; curl -fsSL https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/latest/download/getting-started.sh | bash
```
-- Once finished, you can manage the resources via `docker-compose`
### A bit on NetBird internals
-- Every machine in the network runs [NetBird Agent (or Client)](client/) that manages WireGuard.
-- Every agent connects to [Management Service](management/) that holds network state, manages peer IPs, and distributes network updates to agents (peers).
-- NetBird agent uses WebRTC ICE implemented in [pion/ice library](https://github.com/pion/ice) to discover connection candidates when establishing a peer-to-peer connection between machines.
-- Connection candidates are discovered with the help of [STUN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STUN) servers.
-- Agents negotiate a connection through [Signal Service](signal/) passing p2p encrypted messages with candidates.
-- Sometimes the NAT traversal is unsuccessful due to strict NATs (e.g. mobile carrier-grade NAT) and a p2p connection isn't possible. When this occurs the system falls back to a relay server called [TURN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traversal_Using_Relays_around_NAT), and a secure WireGuard tunnel is established via the TURN server.
-
-[Coturn](https://github.com/coturn/coturn) is the one that has been successfully used for STUN and TURN in NetBird setups.
+- Every machine in the network runs the [NetBird agent](client/), which manages WireGuard.
+- Every agent connects to the [Management Service](management/), which holds network state, manages peer IPs, and distributes updates to agents.
+- Agents use ICE (via [pion/ice](https://github.com/pion/ice)) to discover connection candidates for peer-to-peer connections.
+- Candidates are discovered with the help of [STUN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STUN) servers.
+- Agents negotiate a connection through the [Signal Service](signal/), exchanging end-to-end encrypted messages with candidates.
+- When NAT traversal fails (e.g. mobile carrier-grade NAT) and a direct p2p connection isn't possible, the system falls back to a [Relay Service](relay/) and a secure WireGuard tunnel is established through it.

### Support acknowledgement
-In November 2022, NetBird joined the [StartUpSecure program](https://www.forschung-it-sicherheit-kommunikationssysteme.de/foerderung/bekanntmachungen/startup-secure) sponsored by The Federal Ministry of Education and Research of The Federal Republic of Germany. Together with [CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security](https://cispa.de/en) NetBird brings the security best practices and simplicity to private networking.
