Security.

The technologies that enforce the trust model: identity-bound overlay networking, deliberate segmentation, and hardening that lives in version control.

Enforced,
not assumed.

A security model that exists only in a diagram is a wish. The stack below exists to enforce it: overlays that bind access to identity, firewalls that encode the segmentation, and baselines that make drift visible.

Everything here is chosen to be auditable. Security posture that cannot be inspected and verified from records cannot honestly be claimed.

01

Overlay access

Headscale coordinates WireGuard-based overlay networking: encrypted, identity-bound connectivity between distributed infrastructure and operators, with access scoped per node and per user rather than granted by network location.

VPN architecture is engineered like the rest of the fabric: explicit trust boundaries, measured behavior, and no flattening of internal segmentation just because a tunnel exists.

02

Enforcement & hardening

Segmentation is enforced in switching and firewall configuration managed as code, so the trust model survives config churn and can be diffed like any other change.

System hardening follows versioned baselines with deliberate, documented deviations. Keys, access scopes, and administrative surfaces are inventoried, so what can reach what is a query, not an investigation.

Technologies we work with

  • HeadscaleSelf-hosted coordination for WireGuard overlay networks.
  • WireGuardEncrypted, identity-bound connectivity.
  • FirewallingSegmentation encoded as reviewable configuration.
  • Hardening baselinesVersioned system posture with detected drift.
