Fowlguard Connect · the agent
One app on every device.
Fowlguard Connect brings up the tunnel, enforces your rules on the device and reports its posture. People press Connect, sign in when the browser opens, and reach what they have been granted.

Everything that runs on the device.
A tray app for the person, and a background service that does the work.
Windows, macOS, Linux
One agent on all three.
The tunnel
Private Access to the systems a person has been granted.
Rules on the device
Internet Access decided before a connection opens.
Posture reported
Encryption, antivirus and management, reported by the device.
Ask for access
Request a system from the app, and an administrator approves it.
One-command install
Paste one command: it picks the right build, installs and starts the service.
One command, on the machine you are installing.
The console gives each platform a single install command. It carries single-use links that expire in 30 minutes, so it needs no sign-in on the target and is not worth keeping.
- PowerShell or Command Prompt on Windows
- It asks for administrator rights itself
- Or install by hand with the package
> install command generated in the console > single-use · expires in 30 minutes
There is one button.
Connect signs you in if it has to: your browser opens, you sign in there, and then the tunnel comes up.
Connect enforces what you decide elsewhere.
Fowlguard Connect is included with every plan, on unlimited devices.
Asked often.
