Show HN: Netrinos – A keep it simple Mesh VPN for small teams

https://netrinos.com
28•pcarroll•2d ago
I'm the founder at Netrinos. I built a WireGuard-based mesh VPN because remote access has always been a pain. After years of SSH tunnels, IPsec headaches, and the ssh log horror movie, I wanted something simpler: install, sign in, get work done.

Netrinos creates a LAN-like overlay network across your devices. Connections are direct P2P via WireGuard, with no central server routing traffic. Each device gets a stable IP and DNS name (pc.you.netrinos.com). When direct connections fail, they fall back to a relay server that's still encrypted end-to-end. We can't see your traffic.

The most challenging problem to solve was NAT traversal. UDP hole punching works most of the time. The rest is a cocktail of symmetric NAT, CGNAT, and serial NATs. We use STUN-style discovery and relay fallback for the edge cases. I was surprised by how unreliable low-end ISP routers really are, and how much technical wizardry it takes to hide that behind a clean, simple UX.

Our stack is a Go backend for client and server, WireGuard kernel mode for Linux and Windows (macOS is userspace), Wails.io for cross-platform UI. WireGuard does all the heavy lifting. Go ties it all together.

Popular use cases include: RDP to home PCs, accessing NAS without exposing it, and SSH into headless Linux boxes. One customer manages hundreds of IoT devices in the field, eliminating the need to deal with customer routers.

We just released Pro with multi-user, access control, and remote gateway routing. Personal is free (up to 100 devices).

I'd love to hear what you expect from a simple mesh VPN, what's missing from current tools, and what's lacking from your remote access setup. Use code HNPRO26 for a 30-day trial of Pro.

What's the main differentiator between Tailscale and Netrinos?

Edit: Just found this post https://netrinos.com/blog/tailscale-alternatives-2025, so it looks like main differentiator is pricing right now.

One's banned in my hostel because of a stupid sysadmin.

One isn't.

Not allowing random VPN connections on a LAN is pretty standard. I've been surprised at how many people here are able to use tailscale and the like. Guessing it's just because there are likely smaller teams here that don't have any kind of managed network.

Would you mind revealing which one is banned? I wonder what they are using to make that determination.

I really like your fair differentiation and feature comparison vs Tailscale, netbird etc.

Love to see the ecosystem of wireguard based services growing into different business segments, i.e. you targeting SMBs/small teams.

Not for me, but legitimate use case and product :)

Full disclaimer: huge Linux fanboy here.

Not really related to the product itself, but your landing page design looks close to the official Microsoft style which I dont have the best memories of..

It might be intentional to show the "seamless integration" to Windows users but my penguin loving soul got scared!

Seems similar in purpose to https://vpncloud.ddswd.de/

(above is very easy to use and works very well w/ my experience)

Only downsides are no mobile support & seems to be somewhat abandoned
