Client Installation

When deploying Netmaker to your devices, you will need a client-side application, of which we have various options. In general, this is what we recommend:

• Use the Netclient for endpoints and routing points in your network (e.g. a server)
• Use the Mobile and Desktop apps for end users (e.g. phones and laptops)
• Use Native WireGuard wherever the other clients are not supported (e.g. routers, IoT)
