 \label{Motivation}
 
+This thesis emerged from two interconnected research directions.
+The initial focus was the Clan deployment framework,
+which leverages Nix and NixOS to eliminate
+entire classes of errors prevalent in contemporary infrastructure deployment.
+By doing so, Clan reduces operational overhead to a degree
+where a single administrator can reliably self-host
+complex distributed services at scale.
+
+During the development of the Clan framework,
+which depends heavily on overlay VPNs for secure peer connectivity,
+a recurring challenge became apparent:
+practitioners held divergent preferences for mesh VPN solutions,
+each citing different edge cases where their chosen VPN
+proved unreliable or lacked essential features.
+These discussions, however, were largely grounded in anecdotal evidence
+rather than systematic evaluation.
+This observation revealed a clear need for
+rigorous, evidence-based comparison of Peer-to-Peer overlay VPN implementations.

 This chapter introduces the Clan project, articulates its fundamental
 objectives, outlines the key components, and examines the driving
 factors motivating its development.
