Pangolin
Pangolin combines a WireGuard-based VPN, reverse proxy, privileged access management, and identity-aware AI Gateway in an open-source security and networking platform. Administrators use identity and resource-level policies to grant users access to specified apps, hosts, and network ranges. WireGuard tunnels and NAT traversal let connected sites keep inbound firewall ports closed. The AI Gateway routes provider-native API requests to cloud and self-hosted models, with identity controls, budgets, session history, and usage analytics. Listed integrations include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Amazon Bedrock, Vertex AI, Microsoft Foundry, OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, Ollama, and vLLM. Pangolin offers Cloud and self-hosted options, with clients for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. The free Basic plan supports up to 5 users, 5 sites, 5 domains, 15 public resources, 15 private resources, and 5 machine clients. Team costs $4/user/mo; Business costs $9/user/mo. A 10-day trial is listed.
