If you’ve worked with servers, you’ve probably lived inside SSH and VPNs.
For decades, they’ve been the backbone of server access.
But the truth? They’ve caused more pain than convenience.
- VPN dropped mid-deploy and killed my SSH session
- Onboarding a new teammate meant generating keys, sharing IPs, updating firewall rules
-
A 2AM production outage left only this in the logs:
root executed systemctl restart… - Opening firewall ports just so GitHub Actions could reach servers
SSH was great. But it was a tool built for the 1990s.
It no longer fits today’s cloud-native, automated, AI-driven infrastructure.

And if you’re also looking for a better way to access and manage servers, we’d love for you to try our Beta.
We’d love to hear directly from people who actually manage servers every day.
Join the Beta, share your experience, and let us know what really works. 🚀
