Key capabilities

  • Access native services such as RDP and SSH across networks without a public IP address.
  • Share internet access from remote computers securely.
  • Publish local web servers externally without dedicated IPs.
  • Establish peer-to-peer connections using the QUIC protocol for better performance.

Features

  • Covert communication: Uses WebSocket over HTTP/S and QUIC to make traffic look like regular web browsing, which can help with firewall traversal.
  • Cross-platform and lightweight: Written in Rust for speed and a minimal resource footprint across major operating systems.
  • Granular access control: Restrict access using allow/deny rules based on IP, domain, protocol, and more.
  • CDN compatibility: Deploy the gateway behind a CDN for improved performance and resilience.
