-> read the docs at **[netbird.ai](https://netbird.ai)**.
-
 **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.

-# NetBird Agent Network
-
-Agent Network is NetBird's access control layer for AI agents and the people who run
-them. It gives every agent a real identity, tied to your identity provider (IdP), and
-governs what it can reach — the LLM APIs and AI gateways it can call, and the internal
-resources it can access. Traffic flows only over the encrypted NetBird tunnel, scoped by
-policy, with no API keys to leak.
-
-> **Beta.** Agent Network is open source and can be self-hosted on your own
-> infrastructure.
-
-## How it works
-
-Agent Network is built on two existing NetBird capabilities:
-
- **Overlay network** — the encrypted WireGuard mesh between peers.
- **Reverse proxy** — a NetBird peer that terminates LLM requests, establishes the
-  caller's identity, evaluates policies/limits/guardrails, injects the upstream provider
-  key server-side, forwards to the API or gateway, and records usage.
-
-LLM traffic is routed through the proxy's identity-aware pipeline, while internal
-resources (databases, internal APIs, self-hosted models) are reached directly over
-peer-to-peer WireGuard tunnels, governed by the same identities and access policies.
-
-## Where the code lives
-
-There is no separate "agent-network" service — it reuses the reverse-proxy and management
-components:
-
- [`proxy/`](../proxy) — the NetBird reverse proxy that serves the agent network endpoint
-  and runs the per-request middleware pipeline.
- [`management/internals/modules/reverseproxy/`](../management/internals/modules/reverseproxy)
-  — the management-side control plane: providers, policies, guardrails, limits, routing,
-  and usage/access logs.
