  • Twingate is a secure Zero Trust Network Access solution that offers integration in your security ecosystem, supports Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and is a great alternative to VPNs. In this video, I explain how Twingate works, how to set up a connector, how to add a resource, install the client, and configure security policies. We will also discuss the conceptional issues with VPN solutions and the Zero-Trust concept.

    "Stop using VPN and instead embrace this corporate commercial solution where you depend on third party infastructure." should be the title of this video. Let's be hones, this is advertisement, for commercial product, there is nothing wrong with VPNs.

      That is partially accurate. I would have to disagree because there's a lot wrong with how VPNs get configured. The trust model is broken and VPNs are included in the inherent trust model. Zero Trust, not this fake zero trust from Twingate, but real self managed Zero Trust like application embedded Zero Trust from OpenZiti is necessary.

    While I can appreciate the tech, for me, it seems like opting to use a third party service over a self managed VPN connection is just not better. It opens up another attack vector that you have no control over. You have to trust that the third party service, Twingate in this case, never makes a mistake. Hell, they don't even have to make a mistake, they just have to become a juicy enough target to be attacked by a good enough adversary and you become collateral damage.
    From a self hosting perspective one of the largest motivations to do it, aside from learning, was to stop depending on third party services because of how often they become compromised, or accidentally leak your data. VPN isn't a perfect solution of course, but routing all your access through a third party is not better, just different.
    I realize this is an advertisement but even still compared to your other sponsored videos this felt more like an empty marketing pitch than a video about cool technology.

    • @matt2817

      Agreed. Twingate would become a target at some point. Clearly, Twingate would isolate each customer's service/resources but depending on what the attackers have access to (e.g. internal services, customer support tools), compromising Twingate customers might be trivial.

    The whole goal to get more secure is to actually minimize the use of 3rd party solutions where you have no real control how your data is being handled or monitored. In this case a self-hosted VPN solution would be much more secure, even if it involves opening up a firewall port for it. You know better, Christian. This pure advertisement hurt your image more than you'd like.

    • @canadianwildlifeservice8883
      @canadianwildlifeservice8883 10 месяцев назад +4

      I also think the message here was that a self-hosted VPN can be more secure if you know what you're doing. But having to create a plethora of firewall rules, VLANS, ect. is a a lot of work. Basically these cloud services create a backdoor to your home network. I mean, whether something is a cloud service, or a remote access trojan is purely based on how it's used and by whom. I personally would not feel comfortable with a backdoor being planted on all my devices just so I can access them "securely". But of course it's not really a backdoor, but a cloud tunnel, but it's really just semantics at this point..

    • @Gnanmankoudji

      I confess I'm rather confused by all this Zero-Trust concept. If the principle of Zero-Trust is to add layers where you have to add another trusted third parties, there's something I don't understand.
      My VPN runs by myself, and I already have to trust the code, which may be open source but isn't infallible, and I also have to trust the hardware that runs it, which isn't infallible either, but it's the best I can do to accept a minimum number of trusted third parties.
      Zero-Trust just seems like a marketing term to me since it is often used by third parties that you have to trust...

      You act like everyone that runs a home network is also a security professional…. Even “normal people” sometimes need a VPN, but aren’t experienced enough to keep it secure and functional. Not to mention easy. Look at Fortigate’s VPN vulnerabilities, for example.

  • @Felix-ve9hs
    @Felix-ve9hs 10 месяцев назад +21

    So ZTNA is basically a VPN, but with all the hard work already done for you (dynamic dns, vpn server, firewall/nat rules) and the added ability to have security policies and policy enforcement.
    Authentication (strong password, certificates, 2FA) and authorization (firewall rules allow you to minimize what a VPN client has access to) are already there with VPN.
    ZTNA is something that sounds really nice for a corporate environment where users and resources are constantly changing.
    For a home lab or home network however, most users and services are pretty static, and having to trust and maintain the ZTNA service is just not worth it for me.

    If twingate went completely open source with their client and control server, they would have an edge over something like tailscale. Twingate ACL's seem better than tailscale though. Tailscale at least keeps their client 100% open-source, which allows alternative control servers to be developed (such as headscale, which has contributions from tailscale developers who contributed on their own time).

    Hi Christian, for corporate environment and their employee user/devices this solution seems to provide nice features.
    But I see issues in other when service owner and user/device are not in such relation.
    I think you fall short to explain some details, from my point of view:
    - What about clients from coporation networks with equal high security structures?
    - Any user/client device needs to install the Twingate software as it seems to get access?
    - What are the requirements for the the clients at all?
    - Is a connection without the twingate agent possible?
    I am with you regarding the "least privilege principle" approach.
    And a session MFA authentication would allow me to verify the person,
    but to press a person to give up the freedom of device choice , I don´t see.

    At home I use the Sophos Firewall's openVPN server. I like to think that because it's enterprise-level that it is secure. If you use a long random password, keep the opvn import file safe, and ditch the auto-created firewall rule at the top that allows the VPN users to access everything, you can create a rule that only allows the VPN users to access only hosts/IPs on your network that you allow. This is how it has been done for years. In the video he states that VPN is not secure. Did something drastically change that makes it not secure anymore or this belief just fear mongering by these cloud providers?

    A properly configured VPN implementation will have VPN clients come into a "Grey Zone" subnet, and then firewalls between the Grey Zone, and the Internal resources.

Also between the Corporate, and High Security networks have different brand Firewalls.

    I have a different opinion regarding vpn not secure, especialIy in what u said about ‘client is trusted as part of intranet’. I think vpn is only as secure as how we secure our vpn servers. We should always expect many outside traffic coming from the vpn server, and configure our firewall accordingly. Most of all, aside from network provider, all my data and authentication are transmitted through my own servers.
    Don’t get me wrong, I love this zero trust concept, and I am using cloudflare tunnel, which I think exactly the same as what twingate doing, maybe, cmiiw. Which is my daily alternative to my vpn. And in terms of speed, I didn’t notice any differences, definitely depending on usage, whether to ssh or stream jellyfin.
    So which one you like, controlling access via your own firewall, or zero trust provider’s controller or dashboard or whatever.

    It sounds like this is a tool used for correcting issues caused only by verrrrryyyy poorly deployed VPNs and poorly configured firewalls...
    too much reliance on external servers, closed source, etc...'zero trust' just means 'trust us/our servers with all your data throughput' in this case. same issue with tailscale

    The main issue for me here is the words "Stop using VPN" in this ad supported video. Do you really believe that? You make viewers doubt if your advice is sincere or not. Which will hurt all of your other videos as well. No it is not better/more secure than a self hosted open source VPN, just different.

    Hi Christian, even if you can't host it yourself, it offers some very good and important approaches towards Zero Trust! Used correctly (at least 2 docker containers - as lxc and distributed across 2 of 3 Proxmox nodes, in a DMZ with dedicated firewall rules towards LAN networks and the Internet) this is a really good and secure solution for accessing services in your own area access homelab. Thank you for your time and this video 🙂

    What is the proper ways to secure tokens in the production? How do you not store them in clear text? I mean in the compose we can use environment variables defined in the .env file, but again, variables in .env are stored in clear text. Security in this way is acheaved by who exactly can read .env file. What is better solution? How to encrypt them and decrypt on the fly? You have to put description key somewhere. Thank you for all the help and hints I'll receive on this question.

I'm sure Christian does a lot of testing and quality control to make his videos which is why he's a popular RUclipsr which is more to say then you or me.

    @ALL: Self-hosting is a trend on a private level. Companies are now moving more than ever to the cloud and are therefore dependent on other companies (see Microsoft). Personally, I'm also a fan of hosting as many services as possible myself, but solutions like those from TG or CF are no less secure - on the contrary. The “big” companies in particular are in the spotlight and can least afford security breaches or poorly programmed security solutions. As far as these approaches are concerned, I believe that this solution is currently at the forefront when it comes to security and integrity.

    not a good way to sponsor! I liked the clouflare tunneling considerations and the basic criticism that should permeate everything in IT. So the balance about risk/benefit should be our thought, not the title of your video! You should never say stop using vpn. Openvpn is a 21year old protocol full audited with with also hardened versions and widely used worldwide. Is just secure as should be. So, talk about the main point. What is more zero trusted? A self hosted opensource service with user in full control, or a corporate service with closed source software running inside your house? you cannot deleted this comment.
