Instead of Octelium
Octelium alternatives
Octelium is a free, open-source platform that you host yourself to control access for people, workloads, and AI agents across hybrid infrastructure, SaaS, and applications. Identity-aware proxies apply policies at the application layer, while secret injection keeps upstream credentials away from users and workloads. It covers HTTP, gRPC, web applications, SSH, Kubernetes, databases, RDP, DNS, SOCKS5, TCP, UDP, MCP, and LLM modes. Passkeys, OIDC and SAML connections, OpenTelemetry-based visibility, SIEM integrations, and gateways for AI tools and models extend its control and auditing scope.

Alternatives appeal when Octelium’s free plan is limited to personal and evaluation use, enterprise pricing requires contact, or Kubernetes-centered deployment and its API, Linux, self-hosted, and web platforms do not fit. Several options provide phone and desktop clients, while others emphasize virtual networking, site-to-site links, device posture, or hosted access. Compare whether you need application-layer authorization, secretless credentials, broad protocol support, and AI-specific controls, or a simpler route to connecting devices, networks, and applications. Also weigh administration depth, policy granularity, audit capabilities, deployment responsibility, and per-user or subscription costs.
