Startups (1–10 seats)
Get zero trust for free.
Five seats on the free tier, shared across your team members and your gateways. Enough to get a small team connected in an afternoon.
Built by the team behind OpenVPN
Deploy zero-trust network access by typing what you want.
Ask. We’ll answer. No dashboards, no CLI, no certifications.
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 5 minutes.
Admin shares the connection config. Admin picks WireGuard or OpenVPN and can switch later by redeploying the gateway — 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, shared across your team members and your gateways. Enough to get a small team connected in an afternoon.
Self-serve as you scale.
Admin picks WireGuard or OpenVPN, and can switch protocols anytime — once a gateway is redeployed on the new protocol, members re-download their config to reconnect. 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:
Private app access
SaaS app access
Internet access policy
Secure gateway mesh
Private network reach
AWS + Azure cloud support
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.
