A traditional company VPN works like a single door everyone has to walk through: all your traffic gets funneled to one central server, which gets slow and becomes a single point of failure. NetBird takes a different approach — it lets your devices talk directly to each other over an encrypted tunnel (using a fast, modern technology called WireGuard), and instead of a separate VPN password, you log in with the same account you already use for work (Google, Microsoft, Okta...). Once connected, an admin decides who can reach what, rather than trusting everyone equally after login. Technically, NetBird is an open-source (BSD-3-Clause core, AGPLv3 management plane) Zero Trust Network Access platform: it builds a peer-to-peer WireGuard mesh between devices, layers identity-provider SSO/MFA on top, and applies access policies centrally through a management dashboard, API, and Terraform provider. It supports Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Docker and routers, and can be self-hosted or used as a managed cloud service. With 28.9k GitHub stars it has real community traction, competing directly with Tailscale and legacy corporate VPN appliances.

macOS app that intercepts and audits MCP server traffic between Claude Desktop or Cursor and connected tools for security oversight.
Free, in-browser generator for robots.txt and llms.txt files that control which AI crawlers can access your site.
Privacy-first browser side panel AI assistant that works with any model or agent and anonymizes sensitive data before it leaves your browser.
Open-source, developer-first privacy and cookie-consent infrastructure with headless consent flows and version-controlled policies.
Invisible, privacy-first bot protection using proof-of-work instead of visual puzzles.
Enterprise policy-enforcement layer that watches what coding agents do — prompts, commands, file changes — and blocks or alerts on sensitive data exposure.
Authorization layer that checks every AI agent action against a policy before it runs, with per-action revocation and a full audit trail.
A free Python command-line tool that checks a website's HTTPS certificate and tells you exactly what's wrong with it — expired, untrusted, wrong hostname — instead of a generic connection error.
An open-source trust-boundary gateway that sits in front of OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini API traffic to redact PII, enforce rate limits, and track usage without touching your app code.
