Automate secure WireGuard networks from homelab to enterprise
Netmaker automates creation, management, and scaling of WireGuard‑based virtual networks with a web UI, OAuth, private DNS, and cross‑platform clients for cloud, edge, and on‑prem environments.
Netmaker provides a unified platform to build, manage, and automate WireGuard virtual networks. It targets developers, SMBs, and enterprises that need fast, secure connectivity across clouds, data‑centers, and edge devices. The solution includes a web‑based admin UI, OAuth integration, private DNS, and granular ACLs, enabling zero‑trust networking without manual WireGuard configuration.
A self‑hosted server can be launched on Ubuntu 24.04 with a single script, requiring a static public IP and inbound ports 443 and 51821 (TCP/UDP). Netclient agents run on Linux, macOS, Windows, and Docker, allowing devices to join meshes, site‑to‑site links, or remote‑access gateways instantly. For teams preferring a managed offering, Netmaker SaaS is available with a few clicks.
The platform scales from a single‑node homelab to multi‑region enterprise deployments, offering both UI‑driven and API‑based automation for continuous network provisioning.
When teams consider Netmaker, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
