About:
Nebula is a scalable overlay networking tool designed to securely connect computers across different environments. It enables you to span multiple networks and regions as if they were on the same private network. This tool is built with performance and simplicity in mind, offering a robust solution for modern network overlays.
Key Features:
  • Encrypted traffic using Noise protocol
  • Firewall and routing capabilities
  • Support for lighthouse nodes for discovery
  • Cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows)
  • Low latency and high throughput
Use Cases:
  • Connecting cloud infrastructure across providers
  • Securing communications for remote teams
  • Creating a private network for IoT devices
  • Bypassing restrictive firewalls securely
Alternatives:
  • Tailscale – Simpler setup using centralized coordination, whereas Nebula requires self-hosting lighthouses.
  • WireGuard – Nebula offers built-in discovery and firewalling features that WireGuard lacks natively.
