# Mesh VPN (Modern)
Modern mesh VPN with rich admin UI, powered by NetBird.
## vs Headscale (#234)
- **Headscale** — minimal, uses Tailscale's CLI clients
- **NetBird** — has its own clients (Linux / macOS / Windows / iOS / Android) + web admin UI + posture checks + groups + access policies
## Architecture
NetBird has three services in one container: **Management** (registration + ACLs) + **Signal** (NAT-traversal coordination) + **Dashboard** (web UI). Like Headscale, the actual WireGuard data plane is device-to-device.
## Features
- Mesh VPN with NetBird's own clients
- Web dashboard for user / device / group management
- ACLs + access policies
- OIDC identity provider integration (Auth0, Okta, Keycloak, Authentik, Zitadel)
- Posture checks (OS version / geo / time)
- Setup keys (one-time + reusable)
## Packaging
All-in-one build: NetBird Management + Signal + Dashboard via the netbirdio/netbird image family + bundled Postgres. **3 TCP ports** (80 web + 33073 signal + 10000 management API).
