Eliminate VPNs - Conceal

The Inherited Architecture

Your VPN exists because enforcement used to require a network tunnel. It doesn’t anymore.

For every application your users access — browser-based, thick-client, RDP, SSH, any protocol — a VPN tunnel is unnecessary. The traffic doesn’t need to traverse your network. Users don’t need network-level access. They need direct, secure access to each application — and a lightweight connector provides exactly that, across all ports and protocols.

The Tunnel Was Never the Answer

When network-level access becomes operational overkill.

Network-level access for every application

A user needs to access one application. The VPN gives them network-level access: full tunnel, full routing, full exposure. Whether the application is browser-based, thick-client, RDP, or SSH — the VPN response is the same. The access need was narrow. The infrastructure response was not.

Latency kills productivity

VPN-connected users wait for traffic to route through a concentrator, get inspected, and return. For a simple web app, this adds seconds to every page load — enough to kill productivity and generate help desk tickets. For latency-sensitive protocols like RDP, the performance penalty is worse.

Infrastructure that scales with the wrong metric

VPN infrastructure scales with user count and bandwidth — not with risk. More users means more concentrators, more licenses, more split-tunnel rules to manage. The cost tracks headcount, not threat exposure.

A tunnel for an app

The user needs access to one application — any application, any protocol. The VPN provides network-level access to the entire environment. The mismatch is obvious once you name it. Now there is an architecture that eliminates it entirely.

The Conceal Approach

Eliminate VPN tunnels. Direct Zero Trust Access handles every path.

Elimination, not modernization

Conceal doesn’t modernize your VPN. It makes the VPN unnecessary — enforcement moves to the browser, and Conceal Connect with the lightweight connector handles direct connectivity to every private resource via HTTP/3 (QUIC), with app-by-app granularity across all ports and protocols.

Every path covered — managed and unmanaged

Web applications, thick-client, RDP, SSH, any protocol: direct access via the lightweight connector. Every path previously handled by VPN is now handled without a tunnel, without a concentrator, without network-level exposure. For contractors and third parties on unmanaged devices, Conceal Connect delivers isolated access to assigned web applications — no agent required, no VPN required.

How It Works

Direct access. Local enforcement. No tunnel.

Direct access, no concentrator

The lightweight connector provides direct, encrypted connectivity to every private resource — all ports, all protocols — via HTTP/3. No tunnel, no concentrator, no split-tunnel rules. Access is app-by-app. Users don’t know if an application is SaaS or private, cloud or on-prem.

Application performance, unpenalized

Traffic goes directly to the application. No concentrator hop. No cloud proxy. No backhauling. No hairpinning. No added round trips. Application performance stays native — users don’t feel the security layer.

Extension + lightweight connector: complete coverage

The browser extension handles security, detection, and session control. The lightweight connector handles direct access to every private resource — all ports, all protocols. Together they eliminate the VPN entirely. No tunnel. No concentrator. No backhauling. No cloud data inspection.

Validate One Path First

Start with one path. End with zero VPNs.

Pick one VPN path

Choose one application behind a VPN — any protocol. Route it through Conceal instead. Validate that security, access, and user experience meet or exceed the VPN baseline. Then expand to the next path. And the next. Until no VPN path remains.

Reclaim operational capacity

Every VPN path eliminated means one fewer concentrator rule, one fewer split-tunnel exception, one fewer troubleshooting surface. Operational capacity returns incrementally as you migrate. The destination is zero: zero concentrators, zero split-tunnel rules, zero VPN-related tickets.

Simpler for users and operators

Users stop launching a VPN client. Operators stop managing split-tunnel rules and concentrator capacity. Both sides get simpler.

Measurable results per path

For each VPN path you eliminate: measure the latency reduction (no concentrator hop, no proxy round trip, no cloud inspection). Count the VPN helpdesk tickets that disappear. Calculate the concentrator, license, and cloud proxy costs you stop paying. The business case builds itself, one path at a time.

Browser Security

Your workforce lives in the browser while your security stack lives on the network, creating a gap where AiTM attacks, HTML smuggling, and session hijacking go undetected—closed by Conceal with real-time, in-browser security that requires no traffic rerouting.

Unmanaged Third Party Access

Your contractors and partners need access to private web applications. Your current options — VPNs, VDI, or enterprise browsers — are too heavy, too slow, and too expensive for the ask. Conceal gives them secure access through their existing browser.
