The evolution of VPN: a comparison between Cloudflare and Pangolin
Traditional VPNs, based on a central server, have disadvantages in modern, diversely connected networks. An alternative is meshing VPN networks, which establish direct, encrypted peer-to-peer connections between devices. This architecture provides significantly lower latency and a more robust network without a central single point of failure.
In this TechTalk, Bas Kraai compares two leading examples: Cloudflare's commercial, large-scale solution and Pangolin, a flexible open-source alternative. He takes you through both solutions and examines how they work, including their advantages and disadvantages.
