## What it is
Firezone is an open-source, enterprise-ready zero-trust access platform built on WireGuard that replaces traditional VPNs with granular, policy-based access to apps, services, and networks. It includes a Phoenix/LiveView admin console, Rust-based clients and gateways for all major platforms, and identity provider sync via OIDC or directory integrations.

## Use cases
- replace OpenVPN with a faster WireGuard-based VPN
- give contractors least-privilege access to internal services
- securely access a homelab or VPC from anywhere
- sync users and groups from Okta, Entra ID, or Google for automatic onboarding
- restrict access to resources based on device posture or time of day
- deploy gateways with load balancing and failover across clouds

## When to choose
- you need zero-trust remote access with per-resource policies instead of flat VPN access
- you want an open-source, self-hostable or managed alternative to Tailscale/Cloudflare Access
- you need native clients across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android
- you want identity-provider-driven onboarding and offboarding

## When to avoid
- you only need simple full-mesh peer-to-peer networking without policy management
- you require consumer-style anonymous VPN for privacy from your ISP
- you cannot run or manage gateways and prefer a fully turnkey SaaS-only solution

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: vpn, security, networking, auth, self-hosted
