Client as Access Point and Route
I’m new to home lab, networking, and NetBird so maybe I’m thinking about this the hard way. I’d like to connect devices and servers across 3 homes. I would have a NetBird client running in docker on a device in each home network. I would set up different VLANs in each network with corresponding networks set up in NetBird. With this set up, any device running NetBird can easily reach the other networks based on the subnet of the destination IP. But I’d rather not have to install NetBird on every device in these networks. Ideally, I’d set up routes in the routers for each home that would route traffic based on the destination subnet to the NetBird client, treating it as a gateway, and the client would route that traffic to other networks via other NetBird clients. This would give up some of the fine grained access control that comes from running NetBird on every device but I thought it would be interesting as an option. To my knowledge this isn’t possible with NetBird today.
