Description
Netmaker is a full-mesh wireguard overlay network that is an alternative to Zerotier or Tailscale. Netmaker uses kernel wireguard, so it is ~5x faster than either competitor. It is open-source without any node limits like zerotier has.
An author has posted in r/opnsensefirewall declaring compatibility with FreeBSD, so there might be interest in collaboration.
The plugin in OPNSense should be capable of operating as an:
- "Netmaker Server" so there is no dependency on a third-party (or subjection to future node-limits)
- "Ingress Gateway" allowing any generic wireguard client access to the overlay network,
- "Egress Gateway" allowing overlay network nodes access to other LANs
