Secure connections without a central VPN gateway

The platform creates encrypted peer-to-peer connections between devices and infrastructure. It handles connection setup across networks, reducing the port and firewall configuration IT teams would otherwise manage. Engineers can try the open-source software in a home lab before deploying it across an organization.

Growing the engineering team

Pace Capital led the $10 million round. Funding will expand the product and engineering teams, speed up feature delivery and support a growing customer base. In a separate founder interview, Mikhail Bragin said the priorities included reliability, performance and deeper infrastructure integrations.

Where the funding goes

  • Expansion of engineering and product teams
  • Feature development and support for growing customer adoption
