Is Netmaker a VPN like NordNPN?
--------------------------------
No. Netmaker makes Virtual Networks, which are technically VPNs, but different. It's more like a corporate VPN, or a VPC (if you're familiar with AWS). Netmaker is often compared to OpenVPN, Tailscale, or Nebula.
If you're looking to achieve self-hosted web browsing, with functionality similar to NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark, Tunnelbear, or Private Internet Access, this is probably not the project for you. Technically, you can accomplish this with Netmaker, but it would be a little like using a all-terrain vehicle for stock car racing.
There are many good projects out there that support general internet privacy using WireGuard. Here are just a few of them:
https://github.com/trailofbits/algo
https://github.com/pivpn/pivpn
https://github.com/subspacecloud/subspace
https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app
Do you have an 'Exit Nodes' feature?
---------------------------------------
Please see the :doc:`Egress Gateway <./egress-gateway>` documentation.
Do you offer any business or enterprise support?
---------------------------------------------------
Yes, please contact info@gravitl.com or visit https://gravitl.com/plans.
Why the SSPL License?
----------------------
As of now, we think the SSPL is the best way to ensure the long-term viability of the project, but we are regularly evaluating this to see if an OSI-approved license makes more sense.
We believe the SSPL lets most people run the project the way they want, for both for private use and business use, while giving us a path to maintain viability. We are working to make sure the guidelines clear, and do not want the license to impact the community's ability to use and modify the project.
If you believe the SSPL will negatively impact your ability to use the project, please do not hesitate to reach out.
