What is Anywherelan?
Anywherelan (awl for brevity) is a peer-to-peer mesh VPN for connecting your own devices to each other, at the IP level, from wherever they are. A laptop behind a NAT, a home server, an old phone — give each one a stable .awl address and they can reach each other as if they were on the same LAN.
awl is fully decentralized: no coordination server, no account, no control plane — nothing to pay for, nothing to sign up for, nothing that can be shut down from the outside. Everything awl needs is in this repository, under an open-source license.
awl is aimed at personal use: selfhosters, groups of friends, small device fleets (roughly ~10s). It is not a replacement for commercial mesh VPNs in a team setting — there are no ACLs, tags, SSO, or admin dashboards.
