The project that has a feature which allows admins to SSH to any computer in the VPN ? [1] They have a feature called remote SSH access where the agent running on the node allows other VPN users to SSH to another machine on the network without having SSH enabled / public keys set up. I've tested the project at the beginning of the year and it was a big NO for me. They seemed to fix this issue but it appeared again. [1] https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/1868
In Libations: Tailscale on the Rocks
https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird seems to be completely open source (BSD), https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker?tab=License-1-ov-file#re... uses Apache for the non-pro stuff, and both of those I found by simply looking at https://github.com/topics/wireguard This is why I asked, the phrase "I decided to reinvent the wheel which has honestly been quite fun with learning about eBPF, and recently clustering and HA with etcd" makes it sound like it's doing a bunch of cool stuff (which I want to hear about!), but the readme says nothing about those.
