Why Fowlguard

Everyone gets the access they need. Nobody gets more.

Private access, web filtering and agent visibility are usually three vendors with three consoles that disagree about who a person is. Fowlguard answers all three from one identity, one set of rules and one app on each device.

What sits underneath

One answer to who someone is.

Every outcome above resolves against the same identity and the same rules, so there is one console and one place to look when something is blocked.

One identityGoogle, Microsoft or your own SSO over OIDC or SAML 2.0, with SCIM for users and groups.
One set of rulesGroups, posture, access policy, web policy and just-in-time grants in one rulebase.
One app on each deviceFowlguard Connect enforces the rules on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Why it is fast and private

Decided on the device. No detour through us.

A cloud proxy puts itself in the path, and every request goes to somebody else's data centre to be judged. Fowlguard decides on the device before the connection opens, and traffic goes where it was always going.

Nothing to be downThe rules are already on the device. If our service is unreachable, filtering carries on.
We don't see the trafficWe hold identity and rules, not your packets.

How this differs from what you have.

Legacy VPNs, mesh tools and SASE suites each judge traffic somewhere different. That choice decides speed, privacy and what breaks when the vendor has a bad day.
