NetBird

We're excited to welcome Theodor Signebøen Midtlien to NetBird as a Software Engineer (Networking)! 🧡 We came across Theodor through his open source work on Pion, where he's been building a native Go implementation of DTLS 1.3. We rely on Pion ourselves, and we were looking for someone genuinely excited about open source networking, so it was a perfect fit. He joins the network client team to develop the high performance, cross-platform code at the heart of NetBird, making secure networking faster and more reliable everywhere it runs. Welcome to the team, Theo. 🧡 🛠️

As Founder's Associate, he'll work across every corner of the business, from HR to finance, building out the systems and processes that allow us to scale and grow faster. Welcome to the team, Florian. 🚀 🧡

We sit down with Misha, CEO and co-founder of NetBird, to walk through the new Agent Network feature. It replaces long-lived LLM API keys with network-layer access tied to your identity provider, so agents and people get access through policies instead of distributed keys.

Remember the mess of SSH keys? Shared, copied onto servers by hand, and still sitting there long after someone left the company. That exact problem is back, this time with API keys to LLMs. One key gets handed to a whole team, copied into agents, scripts, and .env files, and nobody's quite sure who's spending what. Our customers kept asking us to solve it. Then after a customer call, our co-founders realized the reverse proxy NetBird already shipped was, with a few tweaks, most of an AI gateway already. So today we're introducing NetBird Agent Network (v0.74): keyless AI access for people and agents. → Any person or agent uses any #AI provider without ever holding a key. NetBird keeps the provider key server-side and injects it per request. → Access is tied to your identity provider (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google), not a credential. Remove someone from a group and their access is gone. No key to revoke. #IdentityAccessManagement → Set token and budget limits per user or team, restrict which models a group can use, and get a full per-request audit log of identity, model, tokens, and cost. → The same model governs agent access to internal resources too, databases, internal APIs, and self-hosted models, without exposing anything to the public internet. It's #OpenSource, self-hostable in a single command, and available now. If you already run NetBird, one environment variable turns it on. The tunnel is the credential.

Vertraue niemandem! Ein beliebter Satz in Thrillern und Actionfilmen auf der ganzen Welt. Und wenn wir schon unter Kugelhagel dem tödlich verwundeten Protagonisten seinen letzten Worten Glauben schenken, warum sollten wir diesen Grundsatz nicht auch in der IT verfolgen? Zero Trust heisst: Vertraue niemandem - zumindest nicht auf Vorschuss und pauschal. Und erst recht nicht, wenn es um den Zugriff auf Netzwerkinfrastrukturen geht. Darüber unterhalte ich mich mit Driton Halili von NetBird und hoffe, dass ihr dabei seid und gern auch eure Fragen zur Lösung von NetBird und Zero Trust Network Access mit einfliessen lasst.
