Nebula
A scalable, secure overlay networking tool for connecting computers anywhere with a focus on performance and simplicity.
What is Nebula?
Nebula is a scalable overlay networking tool that enables secure, peer-to-peer connections between computers anywhere in the world. It uses certificates for authentication and security groups for traffic filtering, allowing users to move data across cloud providers, datacenters, and endpoints without maintaining a specific addressing scheme. It was designed to provide a mechanism for groups of hosts to communicate securely over the internet with expressive firewall definitions.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and organizations needing to securely connect distributed infrastructure, remote teams, or IoT devices across multiple environments. It's ideal for those who require a self-hosted, scalable alternative to traditional VPNs.
Developers choose Nebula for its simplicity, strong security with modern encryption, and ability to scale from small setups to tens of thousands of nodes. Its unique integration of certificates, security groups, and peer-to-peer discovery offers a cohesive solution that outperforms piecemeal approaches, with cross-platform support and no vendor lock-in.
