What it does

MeshLAN creates a self‑hosted, peer‑to‑peer virtual LAN that lets your services talk to each other securely across the internet without a central VPN server.

When to use it
  • You need to expose internal micro‑services (e.g., a dev database or a private API) to remote team members without opening ports on your firewall.
  • Your SaaS product runs in multiple cloud regions and you want low‑latency, encrypted traffic between them without paying for a managed mesh service.
  • You want to share a local development environment (Docker, localhost services) with a partner or contractor securely and temporarily.
Ready-to-paste prompt
`./meshlan -c config.yaml --relay --ai-automation`  # starts MeshLAN with multi‑relay support and enables the built‑in AI automation that watches service ports and auto‑publishes them to the mesh.
Heads up: MeshLAN requires a tun device; on Linux you must run it with sudo or give the binary CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, otherwise the virtual interface cannot be created.
