Firezone
Firezone is an open-source platform for managing remote access at any scale. Built on WireGuard, it delivers 3-4x better performance than OpenVPN with sub-10ms latency overhead. It uses hole-punching to establish on-demand tunnels, eliminating attack surface. Firezone supports SSO, group-based policies, auto load balancing, and full audit logs. SOC 2 compliant (managed).

Fast, secure remote access with zero-trust peer-to-peer tunnels, 3x faster than OpenVPN.
Core Features
- 3-4x faster than OpenVPN using WireGuard with <10ms latency overhead
- Peer-to-peer end-to-end encrypted tunnels, packets never route through central servers
- Zero attack surface: tunnels created on-demand via hole-punching, no listening ports
- SSO integration: Google Workspace, Okta, Entra ID, OIDC
- Granular group-based policies for apps, subnets, or everything
What It Can't Do
- •Self-hosted version is not recommended for production — APIs change rapidly and no official support. 2. Clients from app stores may not be compatible with self-built backend versions. 3. Hole punching requires symmetric NAT traversal; in restrictive networks, traffic may fall back to TURN relay.
Use Cases
- Secure remote access for enterprise employees to internal services
- Replace legacy VPNs with faster, zero-trust architecture
- Multi-site connectivity without exposing public ports
