What is Netmaker?
Netmaker, built by Gravitl, is an open-source platform for creating WireGuard-based virtual networks - mesh VPNs, site-to-site links, and remote access - with self-hosted deployment under an Apache 2.0 license. Paid tiers add centralized management: a Team plan from $2 per active connection/month adds SSO and network analytics, a Business plan from $4 per active connection/month adds audit logging and posture checks, and Enterprise adds SCIM provisioning and SIEM integration.

Key capabilities
- Free community edition: Self-hosted, Apache 2.0-licensed WireGuard networking with unlimited usage.
- Managed add-ons: Team and Business cloud tiers priced per active connection, adding SSO, analytics, and audit logging.
- Deployment choice: Cloud or on-prem for most plans.
Core areas are WireGuard-based mesh networking, site-to-site connectivity, and (on paid tiers) centralized access control and network analytics.
Shortlist Netmaker if you want a self-hosted, open-source WireGuard mesh you fully control, with the option to add a paid management layer (SSO, analytics, audit logs) later rather than committing to a closed VPN vendor upfront.
Because the free tier is genuinely unlimited for self-hosted use, confirm whether you actually need the paid per-connection management layer (SSO, audit logs) before budgeting for it.
