How it works
One-time Google sign-in. Connect your GCP project with a single click.
Chat with the AI. It provisions a secure gateway in your own cloud in under 3 minutes.
Admin shares the connection config. Admin picks WireGuard or OpenVPN at workspace creation — both at kernel-grade performance. Team members connect with any standard client. Traffic flows through your gateway.
Why Cipherscale
Traditional ZTNA is built for enterprises with dedicated security teams, six-figure budgets, and weeks to spare. Cipherscale is built for everyone else.
Get zero trust for free.
Five seats on the free tier. Connect your whole team in an afternoon.
Self-serve as you scale.
Admin picks WireGuard or OpenVPN at workspace creation. WireGuard for stateless simplicity; OpenVPN with DCO for connection-oriented load distribution — both at kernel-grade performance. Each member gets their connection config — QR code or download for WireGuard workspaces; download or OpenVPN Connect deep-link for OpenVPN workspaces. Admin manages gateway lifecycle from chat.
Building incrementally. On our roadmap:
Dual-protocol workspaces — admin picks WireGuard or OpenVPN with DCO at workspace creation; WireGuard for stateless simplicity, OpenVPN for connection-oriented load distribution; both at kernel-grade performance
Multi-cloud gateways (GCP and DigitalOcean today; AWS and Azure planned)
Production-tier launch — public commercial release
Visitor AI Q&A — pre-auth chat for prospects
Private app access and governed SaaS access (zero-trust pillars)
Enterprise features — SAML/SSO, audit logging, fine-grained policy engine
The zero-trust model
About
Cipherscale is built by the team behind OpenVPN — the VPN trusted by 20 million+ users. We spent two decades making secure networking work for companies of every size, and we kept hearing the same thing from smaller teams: “We want zero trust, but we can’t afford a six-month deployment and a dedicated security hire.” Cipherscale is our answer. The engineering you’d expect from OpenVPN, delivered through a chat.
