The Lean Transparent Access Proxy

The Lean Transparent Access Proxy is built to remove that risk without slowing you down. It sits between users and internal resources, enforcing strict authentication and logging every request, yet staying invisible to the flow of work.

This proxy is lean because it eliminates unnecessary complexity. No heavy configuration files. No tangled network rewrites. It is transparent in the sense that it does not require agents or custom clients—traffic passes through using standard protocols, while access policies apply automatically. Engineers can place it in front of databases, internal APIs, or admin dashboards without changing the tools they use.

Security is central. The Lean Transparent Access Proxy integrates with identity providers like OAuth, SAML, and OIDC. It can enforce short-lived credentials, role-based permissions, and multi-factor checks. Every session is logged and traceable, making audits easy and incident response fast.

Performance stays high because this proxy only does what is necessary: validate identity, check the request, log it, and pass it on. No extra hops. Latency stays minimal. Even under load, the architecture keeps throughput stable.

Deploying is straightforward. A containerized service spins up in seconds. Configuration comes from environment variables or a simple YAML file. You can map internal routes to safe public endpoints without revealing actual infrastructure details.

For teams shifting from VPN-heavy stacks or manual SSH jump hosts, the Lean Transparent Access Proxy offers a sharper control surface. You decide exactly who can connect, when, and to what. You gain audit-ready logs without adding friction to legitimate users.

Threats grow daily. Attack surfaces widen. A lean, transparent access layer closes gaps while keeping engineers productive.
