Vortix 0.6: NetBird networks, next to your WireGuard and OpenVPN

[Harry-kp]

Vortix 0.6 adds NetBird, the first VPN in Vortix that isn't a config file.

• Add it: press i, type netbird. Vortix uses the server your NetBird app already uses, or NetBird's cloud. Self-hosted: netbird https://your.server. Servers: a .netbird file with a setup key.
• Sign in: your browser opens the sign-in page, as you, never as root. Over SSH, Vortix shows the link to open on any device; click it or press c to copy it.
• Use it like any tunnel: same sidebar, keys, kill switch, Security Guard, CLI and --json. F2, f shows its routes and peers; v shows its client settings.
• Company mesh + personal VPN: run both. Mesh traffic stays on NetBird, internet traffic goes through your own WireGuard or OpenVPN.

Vortix runs NetBird's own netbird client; it does not reimplement NetBird.

Install or upgrade: cargo install vortix · npm i -g @harry-kp/vortix · installers, .deb and .rpm on the release page. Homebrew (brew upgrade vortix) follows shortly.
