I am a part of a team that provides expertise managing fleets of user endpoints and also servers/cloud for large commercial environments. On this site I occasionally share an in-the-trenches perspective of expertise-driven use of open source in commercial environments.

Due to unethical mafioso tactics of some of the "big tech" companies, commercial entities are not named.

commercialnix··on Ask HN: what are examples of successful "open-source alternatives"?
Wireguard layer-3 tunneling identity (public key) is for machines, not human users. Rolling out Wireguard in an "enterprise environment" for over 600 user laptops and desktops (mix of Linux and some macOS* and Windows*) with our existing configuration management (SaltStack/GitOps) was extremely easy to do.

Where additional layer-3 tunnels that were user or group specific were necessary, we did some very light scripting that any sophomore-level Sys Admin can handle.

We already have BeyondCorp / ZeroTrust for any layer-4 and above authentication.

>> Compare this with a commercial VPN that will directly plug into your identity system.

This would be something out of the clicky-clicky industrial complex.
