Defined Networking

Defined Networking handles the certificate authority, certificate rotation and hosted policy management for a Nebula-based network. That suits a team seeking private host connections without operating the control plane itself. Hosts try direct tunnels and use an encrypted relay when a direct path is unavailable.

The advertised free offer covers up to one hundred devices without a credit card. Start with a defined device group and explicit access rules, then compare the size and support needs of the deployment.

The hosted management service has its own data policy alongside peer traffic. It describes account information, website request logs, device details and service usage data. The mobile-app section discusses permission-based location collection, including background collection, so check those permissions when enrolling phones. Direct encrypted host connections do not remove the management-service records.
