Show HN: Netrinos – Zero-config mesh VPN

I'm the founder at Netrinos. It's a mesh VPN that connects your devices like they're on the same LAN using an overlay network. WireGuard under the hood, native OS firewalls for access control. Zero config. No port forwarding, no firewall rules. Most VPNs require too much fiddling. I wanted something where you install it, log in, and your devices just see each other. That's it. Pro tier is $1/user/month ($10 min) for teams. Personal use is free. Happy to answer questions about the architecture, NAT traversal, or anything else. HN readers get a 30-day trial with code HNPRO26: netrinos.com/pro?promocode=HNPRO26
What it does:
- Creates a LAN-like overlay network across your devices
- Direct P2P connections using WireGuard, no central server routing traffic
- Each device gets a stable IP + DNS name (pc.you.netrinos.com)
- Fallback relay when direct connections fail (encrypted end-to-end, we can't see your traffic)
The hardest part is NAT traversal. UDP hole punching works most of the time. The rest is a cocktail of symmetric NAT, CGNAT, and serial NATs. We use STUN-style discovery and relay fallback for the edge cases. Biggest discovery: how low-end residential ISP routers just barely work, and how much technical wizardry it takes to hide that behind a clean, simple UX.
Stack: Go backend, WireGuard kernel mode (macOS is userspace), Wails.io for cross-platform UI. Traffic doesn't touch our servers except for relay fallback, and you can self-host the relay.
Popular use cases: RDP to home PCs, access NAS without exposing it, SSH into headless Linux boxes - one customer manages hundreds of IoT devices in the field, avoiding issues with customer routers.
We just released Pro with multi-user, access control, and remote gateway routing.
Personal is free (up to 100 devices). Pro adds team features.
Your feedback will really help shape our roadmap:
- What do you expect from a simple mesh VPN for small teams?
- What do you see as missing from current tools?
- What's lacking from your current remote access setup?
Use code HNPRO26 for 30 days of Pro.
