Direct Tunnelling Redefined
Bring identity-based network access to critical, offline, air-gapped, standalone and legacy equipment in minutes, without exposing any endpoints to the Internet.
Remote Access as it should be
Direct IP Tunnels - without exposing your assets
IT and OT devices often require direct IP communication for configuration, diagnostics, or integration with native tools.
But how do you enable that when the device sits on an isolated, segmented, or offline network?
With Bifrost Direct Tunnel Access, you can extend a secure, out-of-band IP tunnel to any endpoint – just like running an infinitely long cable – without exposing the device to the internet.
Works with your favorite platforms
Simply install the client and log in to access your authorized connections

Direct Tunnel Access (with client)
Description: Establish a secure tunnel between a computer and one or more Bifrost Units, relaying access to your target endpoint(s).
Methodology: Remote operators install a lightweight client on their computer or mobile device, which manages access and enforces permissions configured by the administrator in the BifrostConnect Manager. Target endpoints are connected to a Bifrost Unit, eliminating the need for a client on the endpoint.
Purpose: This setup allows remote operators to use applications on their own devices to communicate with and control the target endpoint(s) efficiently and securely.
Direct IP Tunnel: Identity-based IPv4 connectivity to endpoints linked to Bifrost Unit(s). Access is managed through Subnet Mappings, which associate users with specific endpoint IPs or subnets.
