Enterprise Distributed OpenVPN WireGuard and IPsec Server

Visit Pritunl

Pritunl is an open source enterprise VPN server for virtualizing private networks across datacenters and providing remote access. It supports OpenVPN, WireGuard and IPsec, with WireGuard and IPsec used for site-to-site links and VPC peering. It can be self-hosted and managed through a web interface, with a REST API for integration into existing infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.

Key capabilities include multi-cloud VPC peering through Pritunl Link for AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Oracle Cloud, Pritunl Cloud and Hetzner; single sign-on with SAML, Google Apps, Duo Security and Radius; TPM and Apple Secure Enclave device authentication; SELinux policies; a Python plugin system; and structured JSON auditing for SIEM integration. The Pritunl Client runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, with Chrome OS OpenVPN profile support. Servers can be distributed across datacenters with MongoDB-based inter-server communication, automatic failover and replicated servers.

Pritunl is packaged as a free Community edition for a single host with unlimited users, servers and devices, alongside Premium and Enterprise editions billed per host. Premium adds advanced features, while Enterprise adds single sign-on, failover and site-to-site links.
