Secure remote access that's 3x faster than OpenVPN with zero-trust, peer-to-peer connections

Docs | Quickstart | Download Clients | Discussions | Support

Firezone is an open source platform to securely manage remote access for any-sized organization. Unlike most VPNs, Firezone takes a granular, least-privileged approach to access management with group-based policies that control access to individual applications, entire subnets, and everything in between.

Firezone is:

• Fast: Built on WireGuard® to be 3-4 times faster than OpenVPN with sub-10ms latency overhead.
• Scalable: Deploy two or more gateways for automatic load balancing and failover.
• Private: Peer-to-peer, end-to-end encrypted tunnels prevent packets from routing through our infrastructure.
• Secure: Zero attack surface thanks to Firezone's holepunching tech which establishes tunnels on-the-fly at the time of access.
• Open: Our entire product is open-source, allowing anyone to audit the codebase.
• Flexible: Authenticate users via email, Google Workspace, Okta, Entra ID, or OIDC and sync users and groups automatically.
• Simple: Deploy gateways and configure access in minutes with a snappy admin UI.

Firezone is not:

• A tool for creating bi-directional mesh networks
• A full-featured router or firewall
• An IPSec or OpenVPN server

• Throughput: Up to 5 Gbps per connection
• Latency: Hole-punched connections eliminate routing overhead
• Scaling: Need more capacity? Simply add more gateways
• Memory Usage: Lightweight Rust-based data plane requires only a few MB

• Encryption: WireGuard® protocol with ChaCha20/Poly1305
• Authentication: Multiple SSO providers supported
• Zero Trust: All connections authenticated and authorized
• Audit Logs: Full activity logging for compliance and monitoring
• Compliance: SOC 2 Type I and II compliant (managed offering)

Our license won't stop you from self-hosting the entire Firezone product top to bottom, but our internal APIs are changing rapidly so we can't meaningfully support self-hosting Firezone in production at this time.

If you're feeling especially adventurous and want to self-host Firezone for educational or hobby purposes, follow the instructions to spin up a local development environment in CONTRIBUTING.md.

The latest published clients (on App Stores and on releases) are only guaranteed to work with the managed version of Firezone and may not work with a self-hosted portal built from this repository. This is because Apple and Google can sometimes delay updates to their app stores, and so the latest published version may not be compatible with the tip of main from this repository.

Therefore, if you're experimenting with self-hosting Firezone, you will probably want to use clients you build and distribute yourself as well.

See the READMEs in the following directories for more information on building each client:

• macOS / iOS: swift/apple
• Android / ChromeOS: kotlin/android
• Windows / Linux: rust/gui-client

See our detailed License & Pricing section above for comprehensive pricing information.
