Private by default
VPN-only access, transparent layer 4 routing, and why workloads do not need a public address.
The access path
Devices connect to an encrypted mesh. A gateway and access policy forward traffic to the selected private workload. The service can keep its standard port and private address.
The customer does not need to publish a new public address for every VM, container, database, or internal tool.
Zero trust is an operating rule
The mesh authenticates peers. ACLs decide which peer can reach which deployment. The deployment authenticates the user or service. A connection is allowed because it satisfies those checks, not because it came from a trusted office network.
Use the mesh you already have
The default managed path uses NetBird. The architecture also supports customer-owned mesh choices and an audited bastion path where those fit the organisation better.
The important result is the same: management traffic stays off public interfaces.
The result
One private access boundary can serve many workloads. Exposure becomes an intentional property of a recipe, not an accidental consequence of how a VM was provisioned.
