Decentralized, high-performance VPN built with Rust and Tokio
EasyTier delivers a secure, cross‑platform virtual private network with decentralized nodes, zero‑config deployment, and intelligent routing, supporting AES‑GCM, WireGuard, and NAT traversal for seamless connectivity.
EasyTier is a Rust‑based virtual private network that eliminates the need for central servers. Each node operates as an equal peer, enabling secure point‑to‑point links across Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, Android, and a range of CPU architectures. The solution offers zero‑config binaries, a web management UI, and command‑line tools for quick setup.
The platform provides AES‑GCM and WireGuard encryption, intelligent latency‑aware routing, and robust NAT traversal (UDP, IPv6, KCP/QUIC) to maintain performance even in high‑loss environments. Subnet proxying lets nodes expose local networks to peers, while the built‑in UDP loss resistance optimizes bandwidth. Deployment options include pre‑built binaries, Cargo installation, Docker images, and one‑click service registration, making it suitable for developers, small teams, and edge devices.
Ideal for users needing a private overlay network without relying on third‑party services, especially when operating behind NATs or across heterogeneous platforms. The flexible interface (web, CLI, client) and cross‑platform support simplify adoption in diverse environments.
When teams consider EasyTier, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Remote development across NATs
Secure, low‑latency connections between developers' machines without exposing public IPs.
IoT device fleet connectivity
Devices share subnets securely, enabling centralized monitoring and control.
Cross‑region microservice mesh
Services discover each other with intelligent routing, improving response times.
Ad‑hoc gaming LAN
Players connect directly without a central server, achieving minimal latency.
It uses UDP and IPv6 traversal techniques, plus KCP/QUIC proxies to maintain connectivity when direct P2P fails.
EasyTier supports AES‑GCM and WireGuard encryption for protecting traffic.
Yes, binaries are available for ARM and MIPS architectures, and there is an OpenWrt LuCI package.
A web management UI is provided, and a desktop GUI can be installed via Homebrew on macOS.
No, you can use the free shared public nodes, or deploy your own for private networks.
