Tailscale Alternative

Self-hosted Tailscale alternative: NetBird

NetBird provides a self-hostable control plane for WireGuard-based connectivity. WZ-IT plans the migration, integrates identity, policies and routing and can take over operations. Vendor licence and WZ-IT service are shown separately.

Companies worldwide trust WZ-IT

The following are trademarks of their respective owners: Tailscale (Tailscale Inc.), Headscale (the Headscale project (Juan Font Alonso)). WZ-IT is an independent service provider and has no business, partnership, or contractual relationship with these companies. We offer independent migration, installation, hosting, and operations services. NetBird is a trademark of NetBird GmbH. WZ-IT is an official NetBird reseller. Commercial Starter and Enterprise can be purchased through WZ-IT where required; vendor licensing and WZ-IT services are itemised separately.

The Problem

When Tailscale no longer fits

Hardly any team leaves Tailscale because of the technology. The three reasons we hear again and again in conversations:

The per-seat cost curve

The Personal plan covers up to 6 users. Standard costs $8 and Premium $18 per occupied user seat per month (as of August 2026). At 50 user seats this results in $400 or $900 per month; additional tagged resources may be billed separately.

Proprietary control plane operated as SaaS

The data plane is based on WireGuard, while the Tailscale control plane is operated as a proprietary SaaS service. Organisations with self-hosting, data-sovereignty or specific compliance requirements therefore need to assess whether this operating model fits.

Limits when you need self-hosting

The coordination layer cannot be self-hosted, the fallback relays (DERP) are operated by Tailscale, and Funnel exposes services exclusively under *.ts.net - custom domains are not possible. If you want the entire platform on your own infrastructure, you need a different foundation.

Tailscale provides an established SaaS operating model. This page is intended for teams whose seat-based billing, data-sovereignty or self-hosting requirements no longer fit that model.

Cost comparison

Tailscale cost by user seats

Current Tailscale Standard and Premium plans are billed per occupied user seat. The table shows list prices excluding optional additional resources:

UsersTailscale Standard ($8/user/month)Tailscale Premium ($18/user/month)
10$80 per month$180 per month
25$200 per month$450 per month
50$400 per month$900 per month
100$800 per month$1,800 per month

A WZ-IT proposal cannot be compared by user count alone: it includes target architecture, infrastructure, operating scope and service level. NetBird vendor terms apply separately when Commercial Starter or Enterprise is required.

Three possible operating models

The choice depends on self-hosting, client compatibility, functional scope and the desired operating responsibility.

Self-hosting

Self-hosted NetBird

An independent open-source platform with its own control plane, dashboard, group-based access policies, SSO integration and network routes. Community Edition and commercial NetBird editions differ in scope; as an official reseller, we can supply Commercial Starter or Enterprise directly where required.

Keep the Tailscale clients

Headscale

A community-maintained open-source reimplementation of the Tailscale control server that is not affiliated with Tailscale Inc. Official Tailscale clients connect to your own server. The project describes its scope as a single tailnet for personal use or smaller organisations.

Keep SaaS

Stay with Tailscale

If self-hosting, your own control plane or a different operating model are not required, Tailscale may remain the appropriate solution. A migration should follow concrete technical, contractual or organisational requirements.

Migration

The migration path: from Tailscale to NetBird

Four steps, no big bang: your tailnet stays in production until the last device has moved over cleanly.

1

Inventory

We capture ACLs, tags, subnet routers, exit nodes, MagicDNS names, users and devices. This provides the target design and a technical assessment of whether NetBird, Headscale or remaining with Tailscale is appropriate.

2

NetBird target setup

We build management, signal and relay on your infrastructure, connect your identity provider (SSO) and translate the Tailscale ACLs into group-based access policies with groups and network routes.

3

Parallel operation

Both overlays run at the same time: Tailscale stays in production while the NetBird network is brought up with a separate address range and tested against the current state. No big bang, no time pressure.

4

Per-device cutover

Devices and user groups switch one by one in a planned order. Tailscale remains as a rollback layer for each wave - the tailnet is only decommissioned in an orderly fashion after sign-off.

Clearly defined migration

Replace an existing VPN with tested parallel operation

WZ-IT builds the new secure-access path, migrates a pilot group and documents testing, rollback and the wider rollout.

Mapping

Feature mapping: what is called what in NetBird?

The concepts largely correspond - only the names differ. The most important mappings for your inventory:

TailscaleNetBirdNote
MagicDNSNetBird DNSDevices are reachable via names instead of IP addresses.
ACLs (HuJSON policy file)Access PoliciesGroup-based rules in the dashboard instead of a policy file - the access logic carries over, the syntax does not.
Subnet RouterNetwork RoutesMake entire networks reachable behind a routing peer.
Exit NodeExit NodeSame concept, same name: route internet traffic via a defined peer.
Tailscale SSHIdentity-based SSHAvailability and scope are assessed for the deployed NetBird version and edition.
FunnelNo 1:1 equivalentYou publish services via your own reverse proxy such as Pangolin instead - with your own domains instead of *.ts.net. More about Pangolin

Documented mappings reviewed in August 2026. Each item is configured from scratch in the NetBird setup and tested during parallel operation.

VPN Flatrate

Self-hosting without operating it yourself

The usual objection to any Tailscale alternative is: "Then we have to operate it ourselves." You do not - that is exactly our offering:

  • Setup of the complete NetBird platform (management, signal, relay) on your infrastructure - Hetzner, another EU provider or your own data center
  • IdP integration (SSO), policy design and onboarding of your devices and user groups
  • Monitoring, updates and backups in day-to-day operations - you use the network, we keep it running
  • On request, Kubernetes setups with the NetBird operator plus current features such as identity-based SSH and IPv6 dual stack
  • Licensing planned clearly: Commercial Starter adds high availability, SCIM and device approval for up to 50 users and 500 devices; as an official reseller, we supply Commercial Starter or Enterprise directly where required

Managed service without automatic per-seat billing

Setup, operations and support for your NetBird environment without automatic WZ-IT billing per user or device. The proposal is based on architecture, infrastructure, operating scope and service level; required vendor licences are shown separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most important questions

Community Edition can be self-hosted without a vendor licence; infrastructure, updates, monitoring and support still create operating effort. Commercial Starter adds high availability, SCIM and device approval for up to 50 users and 500 devices. For larger or individual requirements we assess Enterprise. WZ-IT supports selection and procurement and shows the vendor licence separately from the managed service.

Not necessarily. For up to 6 users without self-hosting requirements, the Tailscale Personal plan may be sufficient. A migration should primarily be assessed when seat-based billing, data-sovereignty or compliance requirements, or the need for a self-operated control plane conflict with the existing SaaS model.

Conceptually yes, via copy and paste no. Tailscale ACLs are a HuJSON policy file, while NetBird works with group-based access policies in the dashboard or via the API. The access logic - who may access what - can be mapped completely, but the translation is manual work. It is a fixed part of our migration package and is tested against the current state during parallel operation.

Headscale is a suitable option if you want to retain official Tailscale clients. The community-maintained project is not affiliated with Tailscale Inc. and deliberately describes its scope as a single tailnet for personal use or smaller organisations. If an independent platform with its own dashboard and a different policy model is required, we assess NetBird as an alternative.

Both have a direct equivalent: MagicDNS corresponds to NetBird DNS (devices remain reachable via names), exit nodes are also called exit nodes in NetBird, and subnet routers become network routes. The concepts move with you - they are, however, configured from scratch in the NetBird setup, which we handle as part of the migration.

That depends on the number of devices, the complexity of your ACLs and the number of subnet routers and exit nodes - a serious number only exists after the inventory, and that is exactly when we give you one. Thanks to running both overlays in parallel there is no time pressure though: every device switches individually, and Tailscale remains fully functional until the last cutover.

Yes. Both are WireGuard-based overlays with their own network interfaces. We configure the NetBird address range so it does not collide with your existing tailnet - then both networks run simultaneously during the migration, and the switch happens device by device instead of as a big-bang cutover.

On your infrastructure. Management, signal and relay services run on your servers - in your own data center or with a European provider of your choice. With Tailscale, by contrast, the coordination layer runs as SaaS operated by a US provider. It is exactly this layer - device identities, key distribution, policies - that you bring back under your own sovereignty with NetBird.

WZ-IT does not automatically bill the managed service per user or device. The proposal is based on architecture, infrastructure, operating scope and service level. Required NetBird vendor licences are shown separately; details are available on our VPN flatrate page.

No. WZ-IT has no business relationship with Tailscale Inc. or the Headscale project. WZ-IT is, however, an official NetBird reseller and can supply Commercial Starter and Enterprise. Our technical assessment still covers NetBird, Tailscale and Headscale; we only recommend migration where there is a clear technical or operational reason.
