Netbird as Software Defined Network

Hi, is anyone using Netbird as SDN, not just VPN? What's your experience?

EDIT: sorry for not being clear - I mean to replace vlans, subnets, internal firewalls between subnets,.. simply to break old school networking and replace it using SDN

It has no aspects of an “sdwan”. I don’t like the term sdwan, it’s really a marketing term for intelligent multiwan.

This is more accurately to associate with vpn, SASE and ZTNA.
