Ciyora VPN

Private network access that follows identity, not location

Ciyora VPN connects laptops, servers and site gateways in an encrypted WireGuard mesh. Policy decides which people, groups and tagged devices can reach which hosts and ports. Anything not allowed is denied, and no inbound firewall ports are needed.

What Ciyora VPN does

A mesh, not a hub

Devices connect directly to each other and to gateways whenever the network allows, using NAT traversal. When a direct path is not possible, traffic falls back to an encrypted relay. The control plane distributes keys and policy; it does not sit in the data path.

  • WireGuard tunnels with direct UDP paths and relay fallback
  • Mesh health, gateway heartbeats and per-device path and latency in the console
  • Clients keep their last network map if the control plane is briefly unreachable

Site gateways that dial out

A gateway in each office, data centre or cloud network advertises its subnets into the mesh. It registers outbound to Ciyora Fabric and learns its peers from there, so you do not open inbound ports or publish a VPN concentrator to the internet.

  • Advertised routes wait for approval before they carry traffic
  • Overlapping routes and offline gateways are flagged
  • Gateways can run in pairs for high availability

Policy you can review like code

Access controls are written as a readable policy of groups, hosts, tags and ports. The editor validates as you type, shows a diff against the active version before saving, and keeps every version so you can roll back.

Devices you can trust

Every device enrols with a key that can expire, be single-use or be limited to tags. Ciyora Client reports posture such as OS version, disk encryption, firewall and screen lock, and devices can be disabled or have their keys expired from the console.

Capabilities

Access controls
Deny-by-default policy by user, group, device tag, host and port, with validation, diff, version history and roll back.
Sites and routes
Site gateways advertise subnets; routes are approved, disabled or managed; overlaps and offline gateways are reported.
Split tunnel
Per role or person: which networks go through the tunnel, which networks and domains stay off it, and whether that is enforced.
DNS
Split DNS for internal domains, private DNS records, and DNS security that blocks known-malicious domains with a query log.
Enrolment keys
Expiring, reusable or single-use, ephemeral and tagged keys. The full key is shown once and never stored by the console.
Device posture
OS version, disk encryption, antivirus, screen lock, OS updates, firewall and client version, evaluated per device.
Topology
A map of sites, gateways, devices and relays with direct and relayed paths, also available as an accessible table.
Hardening
Optional kill switch on clients, single packet authorization for dark-network mode, and an identity-aware packet filter on Linux.
