NetBird guide: how routing peers enable remote access for clientless devices across three scenarios
aestheticedwar1 · x · 2026-10-21
Author aestheticedwar1 published a written guide covering four NetBird remote access setups, plus an explainer on routing peers.
NetBird supports three remote access scenarios, all relying on a routing peer — a normal NetBird peer inside the network that forwards traffic for devices that can't run the client:
- VPN-to-Site: a client device (e.g., laptop) reaches clientless devices on a remote network — home NAS, office servers, IoT — implemented via Networks.
- Site-to-VPN: the reverse, where clientless devices initiate outbound connections to NetBird peers, useful for on-prem backups or monitoring systems pushing data out.
- Site-to-Site: devices on separate networks communicate through routing peers on both sides, for branch-office or cross-site connectivity.
Full written guide and official routing peer docs are linked.
