A better alternative to Perimeter 81

Our low-friction architecture works seamlessly with your existing network. Deployed behind the firewall, Twingate private networks are invisible to the internet. And your work-from-anywhere users will be delighted with high-performance peer-to-peer connections.

"Our whole company just moved to Twingate, and we are loving it!"

Usability was an issue with Perimeter 81. Some sites I needed to use on a daily basis were not accessible when I was connected to Perimeter 81, which disrupted my workflow. With Twingate, we are now also seeing much better network performance when connected compared to the previous solution.

"With Twingate, it's night and day. I've actually enjoyed setting it up!"

We looked at several other vendors, including Perimeter 81. Twingate was the best match for us because of how simple it was to set up and how easy to use it was for users. The support and responsiveness we got from Twingate was also outstanding!

Easier to Deploy

No changes to existing network. APIs automate deployment using Terraform or Pulumi.

Less Risk

Automatic load balancing and failover at no extra charge or configuration.

Why Choose Twingate

Architecture
Private network gateways leveraging site-to-site VPN tunnels
Peer-to-peer connections via NAT traversal, QUIC, and private proxies
Deployment
Traffic routes through Perimeter 81 network overlay
May require new IP addresses or use of DNS resolution
Potentially complex configuration of private subnets, gateways, firewalls, and site-to-site tunnels
No API-driven provisioning via IaC tooling
Seamless deployment into existing network
Connectors rapidly deploy behind the firewall in each remote network segment
No change to resource addresses
API-driven provisioning via Terraform and Pulumi
Security and Performance
P81 gateway creates a publicly exposed entry point to your private networks
MFA only applied at sign-in, not at the resource
Max gateway throughput = 1000 Mbps
Access to resources not near to a Perimeter 81 gateway may experience higher latency
Public apps routing through infrastructure may experience latency
Private networks are invisible to the internet
MFA applied at sign-in and at the resource
Peer-to-peer connections scale to the performance of the cloud or on-prem network
Lower-latency peer-to-peer connections
The certificate-pinned direct TLS connection eliminates architectural chokepoints
Administration
Destination address changes can impact user workflows
Full tunnel by default
Overlapping subnets prohibited
Redundant tunnels do not load balance
Dynamic IP and DNS architecture eliminates unexpected IP address changes
Split tunnel by default
Overlapping subnets allowed
Automatic load balancing and failover for Twingate components at no extra charge or configuration

Security

A more secure, modern approach to remote access

Twingate is built for a world where workforces are remote and apps are distributed in the cloud. This reality demands moving away from a traditional model where everything was located inside a corporate network.

IPhone MFA
Zero trust, least privileged access made simple.

Zero trust enables granular app-level access controls and limits the blast radius of any network incursions.

Make your network invisible.

No public gateways and outbound-only connections from your network are hidden from the internet. Attackers can’t attack what they can’t see.

IDP Integration.

Twingate integrates with major identity providers with a few clicks.
