How NoPorts Is Different

A next-generation architecture for secure, invisible infrastructure.

Remote access tools create new vulnerabilities by exposing open ports, requiring public IPs, and relying on centralized proxies. NoPorts flips the model.

Replacing Complexity with Closed-by-Default

Security doesn’t have to mean complexity. NoPorts removes the need for VPNs, static IPs, NAT traversal, and proxy configurations. With our Closed-by-Default model, your infrastructure is invisible until access is explicitly granted.

No open ports

No discoverable endpoints

No implicit trust

Why it matters: Complexity is the enemy of security. NoPorts radically simplifies your infrastructure while improving your security posture.

Legacy vs Next-Gen: An Architectural Showdown

The problem isn’t the tools. It’s the architecture.

NoPorts Comparison Table
Feature VPN Centralized ZTNA NoPorts
Exposure ❌ Open firewall ports ⚠️ Centralized reverse proxy ✅ No exposed ports or public IPs
Trust Model ❌ Castle-and-moat ⚠️ Proxy-based trust ✅ Peer-to-peer zero trust
Attack Vector ❌ Entire network ⚠️ Proxy & session keys ✅ Direct process-to-process
Lateral Movement ❌ High risk ⚠️ Low risk ✅ Zero risk
Core Weakness ❌ Broad access ⚠️ Centralized vendor trust ✅ No single point of failure

Why it matters: If your remote access depends on a centralized proxy or VPN, you’re one zero-day away from a catastrophic breach.

Invisible Infrastructure By Design

They can’t attack what they can’t find.

NoPorts makes endpoints completely invisible to the public internet. No listening ports. No IP exposure. No way for anyone unauthorized to scan or discover your services.

Assets are hidden by default

Explicit, authenticated access only

Encrypted, direct connections

Why it matters: Attackers can't target what they can't find.

True Zero Trust

Most "zero trust" platforms still rely on centralized brokers. NoPorts eliminates the middleman entirely.

Direct process-to-process communication

No centralized proxy or overlay network

No vendor-controlled keys or certificates

Why it matters: The only trust is between endpoints, verified cryptographically. We don’t ask for your trust—we remove the need for it.

Stop Lateral Movement Before It Starts

By eliminating subnets, VPN tunnels, and network overlays, NoPorts cuts off lateral movement.

Connections are only established between intended processes

No access to the broader network

Every session is independently authenticated and authorized

Why it matters: A compromised credential can't be used to move through your environment.

Open Source + Auditability

Unlike proprietary ZTNA vendors, NoPorts is open source and built on an open protocol.

Independently auditable

Transparent by design

No black boxes, no hidden keys

Why it matters: Security you can verify, not just trust.

The Simplest Secure Architecture Available

Legacy solutions layer complexity in the name of control. NoPorts removes entire categories of risk and tooling.

No VPNs

No reverse proxies

No port management or static IPs

Why it matters: Fewer moving parts means less to misconfigure—and less to attack.

Built for AI, IoT, and Enterprise Systems

NoPorts supports high-performance, secure connections across modern use cases.

Secure AI inference pipelines

Protect IoT fleets at scale

Lock down MCP servers and APIs

Why it matters: Secure infrastructure shouldn’t slow down innovation. NoPorts delivers security and simplicity for next-gen workloads.
