We think networks should follow people, not buildings

OpenVLAN exists because the way organizations connect — per-office hardware, per-app VPNs, per-contractor firewall rules — was designed for a world that no longer exists.

Our mission

Make secure connectivity a property of identity. Wherever a person or workload is, whatever network they're on, reaching what they're authorized to reach should be one login — and nothing else should be reachable at all.

A world map of connected nodes linked by identity

How we got here

The project started as an internal tool at a distributed infrastructure team frustrated by the same three tickets every week: VPN resets, bastion access requests, and "is staging down or is it just me?" The first version connected eleven laptops and one rack. It took twenty minutes to set up and the tickets stopped. That ratio — minutes to set up, weeks of toil erased — became the product thesis.
