On November 28, 2025, a PII leak incident occurred affecting a small number of user names and email addresses. This post-mortem details the incident, its impact, and the steps we're taking to prevent future occurrences.

Firezone will undergo scheduled maintenance on Saturday, December 6, 2025 from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM Pacific Time to roll out major improvements to authentication, directory sync, and user and group management. We expect only a few minutes of downtime.

October delivered substantial improvements to Gateway observability, Linux networking stack refinements, and new deployment mechanisms. This month's work focused on implementing comprehensive flow logging, addressing routing conflicts through tiered routing tables, and introducing native Debian packages for easier deployments.

September brought significant improvements to Firezone's networking stack, administrative tooling, and cross-platform reliability. This month's work focused on optimizing relay performance through eBPF, improving DNS resolution behavior, and enhancing the admin portal's visibility into client and Gateway states. )

We're making some changes to the way Internet Resources work to improve security and performance. Migrate your Internet Resources byMarch 15, 2025 to avoid any interruptions.

Firezone's data plane extensively uses the sans-IO design pattern. This post explains why we chose it and how you too can make use of it.

We're making some changes to the way DNS Resources are routed in Firezone. These changes will be coming in Client and Gateway versions 1.1 and later. Continue reading to understand how these changes will affect your network and what you need to do to take advantage of them.

We chose Tauri over other frameworks because it was the fastest way to get the Firezone Client working on Linux and Windows.

Firezone's approach to DNS works a bit differently than one might expect. One question we often get from new users is, "why do my DNS Resources resolve to a different IP address with Firezone enabled?". Great question -- read on to find out.

Happy new year from the Firezone team!

After a long year of building, we're incredibly excited to announce 1.0 beta testing for Apple and Android platforms. Firezone 1.0 is an entirely new product with a brand new architecture that includes many of the features you've been asking for. To summarize just a few:

More enterprises are turning to open source software (OSS) to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and extend their competitive advantage. The core technologies chosen by organizations often persist for decades, so decisions that IT leaders make today are bound to affect their organizations’ ability to function and adapt in the future — whether that’s one year, or 10.

The number of employees working remotely is accelerating, so secure remote access should be a large part of any organization’s cybersecurity strategy. Secure remote access lets remote and hybrid employees work from anywhere in the world, on any device, without compromising your organization’s network, data, and system security.

Firezone comes from humble roots.

When we launched on Hacker News nearly two years ago, we never envisioned Firezone to be more than a simple tool for managing your WireGuard configurations.

Today, I'm excited to announce we've closed the first public issue on our GitHub repository, more than a year after it was originally opened: Containerization support! We're also releasing preliminary support for SAML 2.0 identity providers like Okta and OneLogin.

As the first post on our new blog, we thought it'd be fitting to kick things off with a release announcement. So without further ado, we're excited to announce: Firezone 0.5.0 is here! It's packed with new features, bug fixes, and other improvements — more on that below.
