Have any of you looked into the recently released Nebula[1] project from Slack? It's very intriguing[2][3]. I've long wanted something like this, even on a small scale for my home networking and family needs. It combines peer to peer VPN technologies with a robust security access model. It's like a combination of firewall and vpn. Apparently it scales well to thousands of nodes. I plan to mess with sometime in the next year. Just wondered if anyone has thoughts on it, or plans to try to use it in an enterprise setting.
I could envision every household in my immediate family being tied in for purposes of tech support and sharing of files. And using the security policy for privacy purposes. For example, there's no reason for my sister across the continent to print to my printer, and probably file sharing would be restricted to some shared NAS boxes. Interesting possibilities.
