Question

How stable is Meshbird for production use?

opened this issue 5 years ago · comments

Hello,

Can you please tell me if Meshbird is stable enough for production use?

I know that there are other VPN solutions out there like OpenVPN, Tinc, and SoftEther, but I really like the idea of a distributed system thatr Meshbird offers.

Cheers :)

Hello @lonnieOST!

I guess it ready for production but it highly depends on network infrastructure because it still don't cover 100% edge cases that could be while using multi cloud networks.

I'm happy to help you to solve your problem based on Meshbird.

Hello Miolini,

Thanks for getting back to me on this.

I have a couple of machines that I will have Docker containers running on the same subnet so that they can see each other even though they are on physically different hosts and wanted to be able to use meshbird to allow them to talk.

I will give it a try and let you know. Thanks

Hi All, I hope that all is well with you. There is a new opportunity for me to test meshbird again. For this new setup I am looking for a P2P VPN solution that is also very secure and faster. Being stable is also a very important feature as well, but I also know that Meshbird is still a new VPN solution that will need a lot of testing. I found the latest Meshbird 2 binaries at: https://github.com/meshbird/meshbird/releases But need a bit of guidance on running things. I have 2 machines: 1. One behind a firewall, so that I will need to open a port. Which port? 2. The other one may/may not be behind a firewall but will connect to the first one. I went to the Meshbird site (https://meshbird.com/) but did not see much in terms of simple steps to connect 2, or more, systems. Can you please show me an example on each side? I know that I need to create keys and then connect to a running meshbird instance but the steps are not clear. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lonnie

Hi All, I was just trying to fire up meshbird after setting (export) the meshbird_key and then received some messages. One of the messages looked like STUN crashed:

Is there ANY Documentation for Meshbird 2 other than the CLI based Help (re - - help)

LonnieTC · Answer 8 · Wed Oct 06 2021 21:19:10 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Hi All,

Hope that everyone is doing well today.

I am wondering if Meshbird 2 has been tested in regards to scaling as I am wondering what might be the upper limits on the number of nodes in the network.

The current project that I am researching to build up could require a HUGE number of nodes and I am looking for a P2P technology that might be able to handle it.

I have come across Freenet, LibP2P, OpenDHT, and some others, but have always liked Meshbird and wanted to see what it might be able to do.

Cheers

Any suggestions?

Is Meshbird still active?
