Eliminate VPNs and Bastions
Identity is the perimeter. Ditch the VPNs & bastions.
VPNs and bastions were designed for a network-centric world. Teleport delivers location-independent, identity-based access — zero trust for every engineer, every resource, every environment, eliminating VPN complexity and bastion overhead.
WHY VPNS AND BASTIONS ARE HOLDING YOUR TEAM BACK
Reduce the blast radius with full zero trust, not network segmentation.
VPNs and bastions put the perimeter at the network. When that perimeter is breached, nothing stops lateral movement. Teleport puts the perimeter at the identity — every connection authenticated and authorized, limiting the blast radius.
Capability |  | Without Teleport |
|---|---|---|
Security model | Identity perimeter — every connection authenticated, authorized, and attributed | Network perimeter — implicit trust once inside the network |
Access granularity | Resource-level — access scoped to specific servers, clusters, databases, and APIs | IP-based — broad network access with no resource-level control |
Lateral movement | No lateral movement — each connection is a separate identity-verified request | Once inside, attackers move freely across the network |
Session visibility | Full session recording and identity attribution for every connection | No record of who accessed what inside the network |
Operational overhead | Centralized policy — one place to manage access across every environment | Duplicate RBAC, VPN configuration, firewall rules, bastion maintenance |
Audit | Every action attributed to a real identity — compliance-ready by default | Access tracked by IP — impossible to attribute actions to individuals |
OUTCOMES

TELEPORT VNET
A VPN experience without the VPN.
Teleport VNet intercepts DNS requests for any TCP application or SSH server available through Teleport, proxies connections through Teleport's identity and access controls, and handles authentication transparently.
No internal IPs, domain name reconfigurations, or DNS entries to maintain.
ZERO TRUST ACCESS
Zero trust principles for every connection.
Teleport enforces zero trust principles for every infrastructure access event. Every request is authenticated with cryptographic identity, granted short-lived privileges that expire, and recorded in session recordings, eliminating implicit trust or broad network access.
The same controls apply whether an engineer is in the office, at home, or connecting from a new region, and for both users and workloads.
UNIFIED ACCESS AND AUDIT
Reduce overhead of managing fleets.
VPNs force security teams to maintain duplicate RBAC logic — once in the VPN, again in applications, and across fleets.
Teleport centralizes access policy and audit in a single layer, reducing misconfiguration risk and giving security teams a complete record of who accessed what, when, and why across every resource, protocol, and environment — simplifying fleet management and reducing configuration overhead.
