Twingate

Zero trust network access built as a direct VPN replacement

Overview

Twingate is a zero trust network access provider headquartered in Redwood City, California, which says it began building its product in 2019[8]. It is designed to replace a traditional VPN: lightweight connectors are deployed inside each private network, and the client routes only traffic for authorised resources to them, leaving other traffic on the local internet connection. Connections are peer to peer where possible, and split tunnelling is part of the design[7].

The Teams plan, aimed at groups of up to 100 users, includes Google Workspace SSO, SaaS application gating, native device posture checks, MFA for bastion hosts and SSH, and automated least-privilege policies. Business, for up to 500 users, adds identity-provider provisioning, Okta and Entra ID SSO, endpoint integrations, secure service accounts, usage-based and just-in-time access policies, and exit networks[7]. Enterprise adds geoblocking, static IPs, custom SLAs and invoicing.

Limitations are mainly commercial. DNS filtering and privileged access are add-ons even on Business, static IPs are listed only on Enterprise, and the pricing page shows both a discounted annual rate and a higher rate without fully explaining which billing period the higher figure covers[7]. A free Starter plan supports up to five users.
