What is Front Door?
zrok
frontdoor protects servers behind a global distributed reverse proxy zero trust solution.
It securely shares a production website or service as a system daemon and background process.
zrok
frontdoor is a truly “zero trust” connection over the Internet, not just a local network, using OpenZiti’s global distributed zero trust network.
It provides private or public, instant, secure tunneling of applications from anywhere.
How it works

frontdoor is a zero trust reverse proxy allows a web application to be exposed securely without opening inbound ports.- The DNS record of the application is the only publicly visible record, and it is protected with zero trust policies.
zrok
frontdoor is secured by using a zero trust overlay network built using OpenZiti and hosted by NetFoundry.
