warpgate: A Rust repository from SINHASantos

Warpgate is a smart SSH, HTTPS, MySQL and PostgreSQL bastion host for Linux that doesn't need special client apps.

Set it up in your DMZ, add user accounts and easily assign them to specific hosts and URLs within the network.
Warpgate will record every session for you to view (live) and replay later through a built-in admin web UI.
Not a jump host - forwards your connections straight to the target instead.
Native 2FA and SSO support (TOTP & OpenID Connect)
Single binary with no dependencies.
Written in 100% safe Rust.

Project Status

The project is currently in alpha stage and is gathering community feedback.

How it works

Warpgate is a service that you deploy on the bastion/DMZ host, which will accept SSH, HTTPS, MySQL and PostgreSQL connections and provide an (optional) web admin UI.

Run warpgate setup to interactively generate a config file, including port bindings. See Getting started for details.

It receives connections with specifically formatted credentials, authenticates the user locally, connects to the target itself, and then connects both parties together while (optionally) recording the session.

When connecting through HTTPS, Warpgate presents a selection of available targets, and will then proxy all traffic in a session to the selected target. You can switch between targets at any time.

You manage the target and user lists and assign them to each other through the admin UI, and the session history is stored in an SQLite database (default: in /var/lib/warpgate).

You can also use the admin web interface to view the live session list, review session recordings, logs and more.
