Introduction

Wiretrustee is a WireGuard®-based platform that connects your devices securely into a peer-to-peer private network.

It simplifies VPN creation and management for your organization without the hassle of opening ports, complex firewall rules, and so forth.

It literally takes less than 5 minutes to provision a secure peer-to-peer VPN with Wiretrustee.

High-level overview

In essence, Wiretrustee is an open source platform consisting of a collection of systems, responsible for handling peer-to-peer connections, tunneling and network management (IP, keys, ACLs, etc).

high-level-dia

Wiretrustee uses open-source technologies like WireGuard®, Pion ICE (WebRTC), Coturn, and software developed by Wiretrustee authors to make it all work together.

To learn more about Wiretrustee architecture, please refer to the architecture section.

Getting Started

There are 2 ways of getting started with Wiretrustee:

  • use Cloud Managed version
  • self-hosting

We recommend starting with the cloud managed version hosted at beta.wiretrustee.com - the quickest way to get familiar with the system. See Quickstart Guide for instructions.

If you don't want to use the managed version, check out our Self-hosting Guide.
