Instead of Pangolin

Pangolin alternatives

Pangolin combines a WireGuard-based VPN, reverse proxy, privileged access management, and an identity-aware AI Gateway. Its identity and resource policies let administrators limit access to approved apps, hosts, and network ranges; WireGuard tunnels and NAT traversal can keep inbound site firewall ports closed. The AI Gateway routes provider-native requests to cloud and self-hosted models, with identity controls, budgets, session history, and usage analytics. Pangolin offers self-hosted and cloud options, desktop and mobile clients, a free tier, and paid plans from $4/user/mo.

A broader SASE service may suit teams seeking web filtering, email protection, CASB, DLP, or branch connectivity in the same platform. Pangolin's paid plans are per user, while Enterprise uses custom pricing; self-hosted Enterprise is free only for specified personal or small-scale commercial use. Before switching, weigh whether you need Pangolin's resource-level access and AI Gateway, or prefer a wider security stack, different access methods, or another network model. Compare platform support, deployment approach, and pricing availability alongside the security capabilities you need.
