Introduction to openZro
openZro is an Open Source Zero Trust Networking platform that allows you to create secure private networks for your organization or home. We designed openZro to be simple and fast, requiring near-zero configuration effort and leaving behind the hassle of opening ports, complex firewall rules, VPN gateways, etc.
openZro is a self-host-only open-source project — there is no managed cloud service. See Why self-host only for the rationale behind this posture.
There is no centralized VPN server with openZro - your computers, devices, machines, and servers connect to each other directly over a fast encrypted tunnel. It creates a high-performance point-to-point WireGuard® overlay network that connects machines running anywhere in just a few clicks.
It literally takes less than 5 minutes to deploy openZro on your own infrastructure.
