* [agent-network] Shared proto, OpenAPI schema, and generated types * [agent-network] Management: store, manager, synthesizer, policy engine, provider catalog, HTTP/gRPC API Adds the account-scoped agent-network module: provider/policy/budget CRUD and store, the reverse-proxy service synthesizer, policy selection + limit enforcement, the provider catalog (incl. Vertex AI and AWS Bedrock entries), and the management HTTP + proxy gRPC surfaces. * [management] Fix agent-network proxy-peer fan-out on affected-peer recompute The affected-peers resolver loaded only persisted reverse-proxy services, but agent-network services are synthesized on demand and never persisted. As a result the embedded proxy peer was never folded into the affected set when a client's group changed, so the proxy received no network-map update for a newly authorised client and rejected its handshake until a full resync (restart). loadProxyServices now merges the synthesized agent-network services (injected via a registration hook to avoid an import cycle), so proxy peers learn newly authorised clients immediately. * [proxy] Reverse-proxy middleware framework, chain, and request plumbing The per-target middleware chain (slots, dispatcher, mutation gate, metadata merger), body capture, access-log terminal sink, and the proxy wiring that builds + runs chains for synthesized agent-network services. * [proxy] LLM parsers, pricing, and builtin middlewares (OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock) Request/response parsers and SSE/event-stream metering, the embedded pricing table, and the builtin middleware set: request parser, router, policy limit-check/record, cost meter, guardrail, identity inject, response parser. Includes the path-routed providers — Google Vertex AI (keyfile:: service-account OAuth minting) and AWS Bedrock (bearer auth, invoke/converse/streaming, optional /bedrock prefix) — plus the Models allowlist and unmeterable-publisher deny. * [proxy] IPv6 in-place apply and TCP accept-loop hardening on netstack listeners * [agent-network] End-to-end test suite, module docs, and deployment preset * [agent-network] Fix codespell typos and exclude false positives - labelgen word pool: vermillion -> vermilion, racoon -> raccoon. - codespell ignore list: add flate (Go compress/flate package), recordin (a test-local identifier), and unparseable (a valid alternative spelling used consistently across identifiers + a metadata-value constant). * [management] Set LastSeen on injected proxy peer in realstack test (MySQL strict-mode) The injected embedded proxy peer had a PeerStatus with a zero LastSeen, which serializes to '0000-00-00' and is rejected by MySQL in strict mode (SQLite tolerates it). Set LastSeen to a valid time so SaveAccount succeeds on both engines. * [agent-network] Remove e2e shell-script suite from this branch The end-to-end shell scripts under scripts/e2e/ are maintained in a separate testing suite and are not part of this change set. * [agent-network] Polish module docs: remove internal review scaffolding, fix links, verify diagrams Strip PR-review framing, commit references, absolute paths, and stale internal references from the agent-network module docs; fix broken relative links; verify all diagrams against the current architecture. Remove the internal AI-reviewer prompt file. * [management] Refine session expiration handling to support 3-state encoding for SSO deadlines * [agent-network] Relocate agentnetwork package to internals/modules Move management/server/agentnetwork (and its catalog/, labelgen/, types/ subpackages) to management/internals/modules/agentnetwork, alongside the reverse-proxy module, and rewrite all importers. Pure relocation: package names, the synthesizer + affectedpeers registration hook, and store access (shared store.Store) are unchanged, so no import cycle is introduced (affectedpeers still depends only on the agentnetwork/types leaf). * [agent-network] Co-locate HTTP handlers in the module (RegisterEndpoints) Move the agent-network HTTP handlers from server/http/handlers/agentnetwork into the module at internals/modules/agentnetwork/handlers (package handlers) and rename the entrypoint AddEndpoints -> RegisterEndpoints, matching the reverse-proxy module convention. Wiring in http/handler.go updated accordingly.

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.

Self-host NetBird (video)
Key features
Quickstart with NetBird Cloud
- Download and install NetBird at https://app.netbird.io/install.
- Follow the steps to sign up with Google, Microsoft, GitHub or your email address.
- Check the NetBird admin UI.
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 for installations with different IdPs.
Infrastructure requirements:
- 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 with the Compose plugin (Compose v2 or higher). See the Docker installation guide.
Steps
- Download and run the installation script:
export NETBIRD_DOMAIN=netbird.example.com; curl -fsSL https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/latest/download/getting-started.sh | bash
A bit on NetBird internals
- Every machine in the network runs the NetBird agent, which manages WireGuard.
- Every agent connects to the Management Service, which holds network state, manages peer IPs, and distributes updates to agents.
- Agents use ICE (via pion/ice) to discover connection candidates for peer-to-peer connections.
- Candidates are discovered with the help of STUN servers.
- Agents negotiate a connection through the Signal Service, 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 and a secure WireGuard tunnel is established through it.
See a complete architecture overview for details.
Community projects
- NetBird installer script
- netbird-tui - terminal UI for managing NetBird peers, routes, and settings
- caddy-netbird - Caddy plugin that embeds a NetBird client for proxying HTTP and TCP/UDP traffic through NetBird networks
Note: The main branch may be in an unstable or even broken state during development.
For stable versions, see releases.
Support acknowledgement
In November 2022, NetBird joined the StartUpSecure program sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research of the Federal Republic of Germany. Together with the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, NetBird brings security best practices and simplicity to private networking.
Acknowledgements
We build on open-source technologies like WireGuard®, Pion ICE, and Rosenpass. We greatly appreciate the work these projects are doing, and we'd love it if you could support them too (e.g., by starring or contributing).
