Probably your mean #netbird which is from #Berlin #Germany
And yes, there is an #HomeAssistant addon
For me presently it isn't working painfree as #tailscale did.
But since Tailscale switched their Business from #Canada to the usa, i switched.
Netbird.io
Am not convinced about such a setup with an orchestration server. The OpenVPN setup seems more straight forward to me (for my scenario).
I would need to replace the ASUS routers with other hardware (mini-pc or something) with Linux/OpenVPN, but other than that, it all works fine.
The only thing that would be better with Tailscale/Netbird, is that no port-forwarding is needed anymore.
I only have the requirement to connect to the remote networks, the remote networks must not be able to connect to mine.
Would appreciate your input/thoughts/experience.

Have finally taken some time to read up on current VPN options in homelabs, as my involved hardware is no longer supported.
I have quite a few connections from my network to remote networks at family/friends for IT support (around 10). I connect from my pfSense via OpenVPN to OpenVPN server running on ASUS routers, flashed with Merlin firmware. The models are no longer supported, so am looking for alternatives.
Some of these ASUS routers function as a router plus the OpenVPN server, some routers just serve as an OpenVPN server.
Have checked Tailscale (with Headscale as I do not want to rely on 3rd parties)) and Netbird (apparently possible to selfhost).
In both setups every single device need to be configured separately and not all devices have native clients. Tailscale seems to have an option for "exit nodes" so the network where the device is in, is also reachable.

In my endevour to use more EU based service i just switched my little lab server from #tailscale to #netbird (https://netbird.io/). This was really easy. You should give it a try!
I will start recommending #netbird instead of #tailscale from now on!

We are currently working on a simpler solution for individuals to achieve more digital privacy in their homes.
Easy maintenance and more or less simple installation ;)

Building a local cloud solution for our local parent association.
Using a Lenovo ThinkCentre Micro to host YunoHost and on top of that hosting Nextcloud and Grav CMS. For now at least. Can't tell you how smooth this has been.
Upgrading now to use HAProxy to be the front end on a public cloud provider, Swedish of course, and use Netbird, thus wireguard, to create tunnels between the proxy and the local server.
Whish me luck.
Anybody have strong opinions on #netbird vs #tailscale for personal use? I still have trouble trusting these overlay networks (yes I know headscale is a thing) but I have had a great experience with netbird in a work setting. Most of the tailscale things I see are advertising. A couple of friends are happy with it though
I like that netbird is based in Germany but I also like the #mullvad integration in tailscale. I use #protonpvn pretty heavily so having that sort of thing baked in seems nice
Don't be like me! Map your network, and use a VPN like #netbird to access your #selfhosted services #securely. #OpenSource is Awesome, so be smart with it. https://youtu.be/FHiku2Lt3x8
Thought about setting up my own vpn service. Was looking at #netbird and then I read a post about their project being immature and loads of issues not being addressed at their GitHub. So #headscale ? Or should I look elsewhere. Just want a small setup, exit node style. #selfhosted
@meep I didn't try #netbird because they don't have an Apple TV client. I'm using #headscale for months, and I only regret not jumping on this earlier :-)
My setup is super stable, and it's very easy to add devices. I only miss the option to have different DNS per client.
Trying to setup a VPN overlay on my #nixos server, really liking the look of netbird but have had the hardest time getting my #HAProxy working for it. Anyone out there using #netbird or #headscale? Curious about anyones experience setting up or using either, and if you have a strong opinion on a self hosted Overlay VPN solution?
Ah, found the #netbird #vpn #HomeAssistant #addon
It is provided bei netbird.io itself. cool
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/home-assistant-add-on-netbird-client/648232
@hobbsc Have it on #wireguard and on #tailscale. Both work well.
Another option is to use the Nabu Casa service (also has the benefit of supporting the developers). I don't use it (even though I have a subscription)
#NetBird looks interesting (new to me)
Anyone have strong feelings about hosting your own #wireguard or rolling with something like #netbird. I never did do a trial run of #tailscale and I still have trust issues but we've been using Netbird successfully at work for a while.
I'd like to access my #homeassistant server and a couple of other minor things. Been trying to figure this out for ages.
ok switched out #netbird for #tailscale and now it's time to fix all the shit that broke!
The biggest fear I have while going on vacation is that my #tailscale or #netbird would go down and I will not be able to access my #HomeLab.
#firstworldproblems
@jesse For me, it was bypass cgnat. Both #tailscale and #netbird allowed me to have a VPN bypassing CGNAT introduced by the ISP.
