Pomerium is an open-source, identity- and context-aware reverse proxy that provides clientless, zero-trust access to internal applications and services. It authenticates users against any OIDC-compliant identity provider and enforces per-request authorization policies, replacing traditional VPN access.

Use cases

  • secure remote access to internal web apps without a VPN
  • add single sign-on and per-route authorization to self-hosted apps like Grafana or GitLab
  • secure Kubernetes ingress and kubectl access clientlessly
  • govern and log AI agent requests with per-request authorization
  • replace corporate VPN for distributed teams and contractors

When to avoid

  • you need full network-layer access to arbitrary TCP/UDP protocols rather than HTTP apps
  • you want a simple point-to-point tunnel like WireGuard or Tailscale
  • you cannot operate TLS certificates and DNS for proxied routes
