Twingate is the most secure way to provide encrypted, least privileged access to any cloud (AWS, Azure or Google Cloud Platform) or on-premise application or resource. Twingate allows you to secure all access regardless of device platform or network. Far more secure than VPN, and using either your company’s identity provider or public identity authorities for authentication, Twingate allows you to remotely access any private application without exposing any public IPs. Twingate’s network performance is exceptional, access to private resources is audited, and you can enable 2FA/MFA on any resource with zero application changes required.
TermTek

TermTek puts your SSH terminal within reach on iPhone and iPad. Connect to servers you control, keep your hosts organized, and return to your work when you need it. • Connect with a password or a supported SSH private key. • Review a server's host key before trusting it. Credentials and trusted host keys are stored in the iOS Keychain. • Keep multiple terminal tabs and reconnect to saved sessions. • Attach to tmux sessions running on your server to preserve remote work across disconnects. • Use mobile-friendly Esc, Tab, arrow keys, customizable quick keys, and a command composer. • Browse terminal scrollback in the same screen and copy selected text. • Import basic hosts from an SSH config file. • Choose English or Traditional Chinese through your device language settings. TermTek is an SSH client. It does not provide a server, a tmux installation, or an AI service. Remote work continues only when the server and any required remote session remain available.
