Overview #

The Access Tier is an identity-aware proxy that mediates access between entities on the internet and your internal services. Each Access Tier has a public IP address that is reachable from the internet, and each accepts inbound connections on the following ports:

• TCP 80 and TCP 443 (Hosted Web Services),
• TCP 8443 (Infrastructure Services),
• and UDP 51820 (Service Tunnels).

The core of the Access Tier component is the netagent binary - a light-weight, identity-aware proxy, written in Golang. Netagent runs on Linux servers and is designed to be similar in deployment to open-source proxies such as Nginx.
