Border0 connectors
Border0 seamlessly integrates VPN and Privileged Access Management (PAM) capabilities, providing a secure, identity-aware way to access private resources in your Tailscale network, known as a tailnet. At the core of this architecture is the connector, which plays a critical role in securing and managing access. You use connectors to connect your sockets to an origin.
The connector's key functions include:
- An application-aware identity proxy for PAM, enabling granular, identity-aware access to private resources. It establishes a session between your tailnet clients with your tailnet sockets like SSH, a database, and Kubernetes.
- A VPN gateway, ensuring secure access without exposing resources to the internet.
- A protocol-aware service, supporting session recording, policy validation, secrets management, and service discovery.
Use the following guides to understand Border0 connectors and configure a connector to provide identity-aware access to resources in your tailnet.
