Firezone is a zero-trust network access platform that positions itself as a replacement for traditional VPNs. Built on the WireGuard protocol, it grants access to private resources according to least-privilege rules and integrates with identity providers such as Okta, Google and Microsoft Entra. It can be deployed on the customer's own infrastructure or used as a managed cloud service. The source code is published on GitHub, with most components under the Apache 2.0 licence and some under the Elastic License 2.0.
Firezone is made by the company Firezone, whose GitHub organisation lists the United States as its location; the product site does not name a legal entity or registered seat. The hosting region of the managed cloud service is not stated publicly on the product site. Because the Elastic License 2.0 covers part of the code, the project is not fully open source under the OSI definition. For a European organisation, self-hosting keeps the control plane under its own management, while the managed option requires checking where data is located and which legal regime applies, given the US base.
