Client Application

Overview

Users gain access to your Twingate Network and are protected from threats by using the Twingate Client. The Client currently supports the following platforms:

On setup, users simply need to enter the subdomain for your account under twingate.com. For example, if you administer Twingate at autoco.twingate.com, users will enter autoco as the organization name in the client. This only needs to be done the first time you use the client.

The Twingate client does not require any special permissions, but we do set up a local VPN connection to 127.0.0.1 in order to intercept traffic to your private Resources. More information can be found in our Endpoint Requirements article.

Installation

End user Download & Installation

Automatic Updates

Twingate recommends automating updates for the Client where possible. In cases where local users have elevated permissions, the Client can be configured to automatically check for updates and install them as they become available.

In cases where software distribution tools are used, the instructions in the guides linked below can be used to deploy the Client to your users:
