Replace Fortinet or Checkpoint with a lightweight, auditable stack
Give contractors and remote workers secure, controlled access
Trying to solve the remote access problem, I’ve looked into popular solutions like Tailscale, Netbird or Firezone offering VPN management with Wireguard, but their focus lies in the cloud/SaaS and does not fit our scenario perfectly. Then I’ve discovered Defguard which is designed with private cloud use cases in mind and offers built in identity and SSO. With Defguard documentation and support the evaluation was fast and easy.

It's a unique modern VPN solution, not another extension based on WireGuard? with just web interface and MFA for login to the web without connection cover. You can run all microservices components written in Rust yourself without any requirements for communication with other services running by someone else and you have more options on how to run it, e.g. control plane on Kubernetes and gateways on other VMs. But it's not only VPN solution, it provides you also IDP like e.g. Keycloak so you can decrease the number of tools for hardening. And all of this is open-source with a community driven development.

The team really appreciates the ease of use, security and speed of the platform (thanks Wireguard). I’ve been trying to push more open-source solutions into our software stack and Defguard seems like the perfect choice.
