Projektgeschichte

Defined Networking released DNClient 0.1.0 as a beta in February 2022. The client wraps the open-source Nebula data plane with enrollment, certificate rotation, centralized configuration delivery, and service-management commands.

Adoptionsgeschichte

The release line added Windows support in 2022, configurable and named multi-instance operation plus a Docker image in 2023, route support in 2024, a desktop variant in 2025, and newer Nebula releases and operating-system integration through 2026.

Wie es verwendet wird

Administrators install dnclient as a system service, enroll it with a code from the Managed Nebula admin panel, and then let it poll the service for configuration updates. The -name option permits multiple managed network connections on one machine.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

DNClient Server packages Nebula's encrypted peer-to-peer data plane with a managed enrollment and configuration lifecycle in a single daemon, with binaries for a broad set of operating systems and CPU architectures.
