Is your bastion host or legacy VPN struggling to keep up with remote work?
Firezone is a remote access platform that’s painless to deploy, easy to manage, and built on WireGuard® to be blazing fast. Best of all it's self-hosted and open-source.

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Jamil, the CEO of Firezone. I'm here with my co-founder and COO @jgong. While working as a security automation engineer at Cisco I found myself needing to set up remote access for my team into various internal private networks for running security tests and scanning networks. We quickly found OpenVPN cumbersome and complicated to manage, and often found ourselves frustrated by its slow and unreliable connections. Then we discovered WireGuard®. WireGuard® is an absolute godsend to anyone needing a layer 3/4 tunnel. It boasts 3-4x faster throughput than OpenVPN, reconnect times measured in milliseconds, and typically incurs no noticeable latency overhead vs a direct connection. WireGuard® is a great foundation -- but it's lacking critical features like 2FA, SSO, and more that prevent it from being used effectively in team environments. So we built Firezone. Firezone's an intuitive, snappy web UI bundled as a Linux package designed to make it as painlesss as possible to manage secure remote access for your team. Use Firezone to manage secure remote access to applications in your private cloud, funnel traffic through a single egress gateway for your team, establish a reverse tunnel to a host behind NAT, or simply ensure that the first hop from your teams' laptops is encrypted when connecting from untrusted cafe and airport WiFi. What makes Firezone different? We're 100% open source and plan to remain that way. We're also self-hosted; we believe virtual private networks should *remain private*. Firezone can be deployed in air-gapped environments such that none of your traffic ever touches our servers. What's next? Firezone is still in its infancy; we've got tons of new features in the pipeline for release later this year. Now's a great time to check it out and offer your feedback to steer development! We just launched our public Beta program and will be giving early adopters license keys to paid Firezone tiers when they become available.
