Any suggestions for a good inexpensive or open source zero trust auth solution that supports both HTTP and SSH? I considered Cloudflare Access, but you need to pay extra for Argo Tunnel if you want it to work with SSH.

The main open source option I'm aware of now with support is Pritunl Zero. Was going to actually stand that up today before I read the article.



I love Pritunl. Have been using it for 5 years. It's super easy to setup, maybe takes an hour the first time and like 15 minutes once you have done it.


CFA is not ZT. It is "simply" moving the auth point to the CF gateway. It's still a VPN (or bastion, if you will).

ZT is when you move [strong] authn and authz to the endpoint itself.


Not sure if you need SSO (it doesn't do it), but if you can bootstrap with a cert or key of some kind, I've been loving Zerotier.
