Hi All, I am the founder of Simply5 CloudLAN. We are very thrilled to show our product here. The idea for CloudLAN came from challenges we faced while evolving to a Remote-First company. We were trying to replicate all the networking flexibilities we enjoyed while working out of our office, but without being tied down to a physical location. CloudLAN helps Businesses & remote teams access their organization resources and servers more securely while working over the Public internet from Anywhere. It offers Easy user & device onboarding, TeamVPN, Dedicated Static IP, and more. Beyond that CloudLAN has some cool add-on features like - Service Casting using TeamURL & PublicURL - 2-step onboarding of any Windows, Ubuntu, CentOS & Rpi server using Host feature - Bookmarks - Recording & share resources available for users in a designated place. All these features are easily manageable over the client app, skipping the need for a technical web admin panel. We have native apps for Windows and Mac. Users can use any generic OpenVPN client supported by their OS once invited to CloudLAN room. ### CloudLAN Works For - Remote teams - DevOps - Software Vendors - IT Admins - Digital Agencies - Small & Medium Business Owners Hope CloudLAN helps to boost your productivity with an additional layer of security. Would love to hear your thoughts!

And so how does this compare to ZeroTier? Or tailscale? How do you differentiate yourselves from a plain VPN that everyone gets assigned to?

  ZeroTier & Tailscale are based on WireGuard protocol but end resultant will be the same with hopefully better latency if clients are able to establish P2P. We are tracking the developments & can support WireGuard if there prevails. Dint particularly like the /16 IP assignment between all the clients & just ACL based clients bifurcation. In OpenVPN each client gets a dedicated server & full view of users/Devices connected to their network through the app which is less Voodoo & easier to explain to clients.

  CloudLAN is focusing on SME segment who may not have a technical expertise & look for straight forward solutions. We are replicating a LAN network that businesses are used to but as app based interface which includes features like Static IP, Port Forwarding, easy Device/User onboarding without any dependencies, intercommunication between devices etc...
