What Firezone actually does
Firezone is a self-hosted remote access gateway built around the WireGuard protocol. It provides a web-based interface alongside support for single sign-on and multi-factor authentication to manage network connections.
Best fit: Administrators seeking a manageable WireGuard deployment with built-in identity provider integration and a graphical user interface.
Worth knowing: You will need to evaluate how its access control model and authentication dependencies fit your existing security infrastructure.
Deployment notes
As a containerised Elixir application, deployment typically involves running Docker containers behind a reverse proxy for TLS termination, with persistent volumes configured for state.
