  • Direct peer-to-peer traffic without a relay in the middle
  • Works as a normal network interface, no code changes needed
  • Ethernet-level networking, so discovery and broadcast protocols work across sites
  • End-to-end encryption with keys you control
  • Hosted setup relies on the Husarnet Dashboard account
  • Focused on robotics and device fleets rather than general consumer VPN use
  • An account with the hosted controller unless you run your own
  • Relayed connections are free but slow when peer-to-peer fails
