Deploy Defguard in one click installation.
Open-source zero-trust access management with native WireGuard multi-factor authentication and built-in OpenID Connect.
What you can build with Defguard
Defguard is an enterprise-grade zero-trust access management platform built around WireGuard, the only solution that adds real multi-factor authentication directly to the VPN tunnel rather than wrapping a separate application gateway around it. This template deploys the complete Defguard 2 stack: the Core management interface and OpenID Connect provider, the public Edge component for user enrollment, and a WireGuard Gateway, all linked automatically with mutual TLS.
Self-hosting Defguard on your own VPS keeps user directories, hardware keys, audit logs, and OpenID signing keys entirely under your control. Add more gateways anywhere on your network later, while Core stays the single source of truth for identity, devices, and access policies.
Key features of Defguard
WireGuard with MFA
Enforce TOTP, email, or hardware-key second factors directly on every WireGuard connection instead of relying on a separate access gateway.
Built-in OpenID Connect
Integrated OIDC identity provider lets Defguard issue SSO tokens for your other applications without deploying Keycloak or a third-party IdP.
Remote user enrollment
Onboard new users through the public Edge portal, which sets passwords, provisions devices, and configures the desktop client automatically.
ACLs and firewall rules
Define network segmentation and per-user access policies that propagate to Linux and FreeBSD/OPNsense gateways in real time.
LDAP and AD sync
Two-way synchronization with Active Directory and LDAP keeps users, groups, and group memberships consistent across systems.
Device posture checks
Require minimum client and OS versions, disk encryption, or antivirus before a device is allowed to connect to a location.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
