Field report: a Bedrock Claude Sonnet 4.6 request showing 3 input / 1514 output tokens displayed a cost of $0.1372 instead of the expected $0.0227. Root cause analysis: the calculation is correct — the request's first call also wrote a ~30.5k-token prompt cache (cache_creation_input_tokens, billed at 1.25x input per AWS pricing), which is folded into total_tokens and the cost but not visible next to the input/output counts. Lock the pipeline down with tests so any real calculation regression fails loudly: - Add a provider cost matrix test driving the real proxy pipeline (llm_request_parser -> llm_response_parser -> cost_meter) with realistic wire fixtures for every metered surface (OpenAI JSON/SSE incl. cached subset, Anthropic JSON/SSE incl. cache buckets, Bedrock InvokeModel and Converse in both buffered and streaming form, Vertex path-routed, Kimi Anthropic-shape, unpriced gateway-prefixed ids) against the embedded default pricing table, asserting exact USD amounts derived from the published per-million prices. Covers the reported scenario byte-for-byte ($0.022719 bare, $0.137199 with the 30,528-token cache write) and would catch a per-token-instead-of-per-1k-chunk regression as a 1000x blowup. - Pin the management catalog (dashboard-displayed prices) to the proxy's embedded pricing table so the two can never drift apart silently. - Validate cost end-to-end in the live e2e provider matrix: each provider's ingested access-log row must carry a cost_usd matching the vendor's published per-1k rates applied to the row's token counts (cache-aware for the additive Anthropic/Bedrock buckets, zero for gateway-prefixed model ids the meter deliberately skips). - Fix a real under-billing bug the audit surfaced: the Bedrock Converse shapes report prompt-cache usage as camelCase cacheReadInputTokens / cacheWriteInputTokens, which neither the buffered parser nor the converse-stream metadata handler read - cached Converse traffic was metered without its cache buckets. Parse both fields into the same Usage buckets as the InvokeModel snake_case fields.

🤖 NetBird Agent Network (Beta)
Identity-aware access control for AI agents — keyless access to LLM APIs and private resources over the encrypted NetBird tunnel. See
agent-network/or read the docs at netbird.ai.
NetBird combines a configuration-free peer-to-peer private network and a centralized access control system in a single platform, making it easy to create secure private networks for your organization or home.
Connect. NetBird creates a WireGuard-based overlay network that automatically connects your machines over an encrypted tunnel, leaving behind the hassle of opening ports, complex firewall rules, VPN gateways, and so forth.
Secure. NetBird enables secure remote access by applying granular access policies while allowing you to manage them intuitively from a single place. Works universally on any infrastructure.

Self-host NetBird (video)
Key features
Quickstart with NetBird Cloud
- Download and install NetBird at https://app.netbird.io/install.
- Follow the steps to sign up with Google, Microsoft, GitHub or your email address.
- Check the NetBird admin UI.
Quickstart with self-hosted NetBird
This is the quickest way to try self-hosted NetBird. It should take around 5 minutes to get started if you already have a public domain and a VM. Follow the Advanced guide with a custom identity provider for installations with different IdPs.
Infrastructure requirements:
- A Linux VM with at least 1 CPU and 2 GB of memory.
- The VM should be publicly accessible on TCP ports 80 and 443 and UDP port 3478.
- A public domain name pointing to the VM.
Software requirements:
- Docker with the Compose plugin (Compose v2 or higher). See the Docker installation guide.
Steps
- Download and run the installation script:
export NETBIRD_DOMAIN=netbird.example.com; curl -fsSL https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/latest/download/getting-started.sh | bash
A bit on NetBird internals
- Every machine in the network runs the NetBird agent, which manages WireGuard.
- Every agent connects to the Management Service, which holds network state, manages peer IPs, and distributes updates to agents.
- Agents use ICE (via pion/ice) to discover connection candidates for peer-to-peer connections.
- Candidates are discovered with the help of STUN servers.
- Agents negotiate a connection through the Signal Service, exchanging end-to-end encrypted messages with candidates.
- When NAT traversal fails (e.g. mobile carrier-grade NAT) and a direct p2p connection isn't possible, the system falls back to a Relay Service and a secure WireGuard tunnel is established through it.
See a complete architecture overview for details.
Community projects
- NetBird installer script
- netbird-tui - terminal UI for managing NetBird peers, routes, and settings
- caddy-netbird - Caddy plugin that embeds a NetBird client for proxying HTTP and TCP/UDP traffic through NetBird networks
Note: The main branch may be in an unstable or even broken state during development.
For stable versions, see releases.
Support acknowledgement
In November 2022, NetBird joined the StartUpSecure program sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research of the Federal Republic of Germany. Together with the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, NetBird brings security best practices and simplicity to private networking.
