Warpgate
A transparent SSH, HTTPS, Kubernetes, MySQL, and PostgreSQL bastion host with built-in session recording and no client-side software required.
What is Warpgate?
Warpgate is an open-source bastion host and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution that provides secure, audited access to internal services like SSH, HTTPS, Kubernetes, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. It solves the problem of managing secure access to backend infrastructure without requiring custom client software or complex VPN setups. By acting as a transparent proxy, it enables precise user-to-service assignments with full session recording and built-in authentication.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and security teams managing access to servers, databases, and Kubernetes clusters in production environments. It's ideal for organizations needing a self-hosted, auditable alternative to commercial PAM solutions.
Developers choose Warpgate because it offers a transparent, client-software-free approach to bastion hosting with out-of-the-box 2FA, SSO, and session recording. Unlike traditional jump hosts or VPNs, it provides precise access control without sacrificing auditability, all packaged as a single Rust binary for easy deployment.
