Firezone is an open source platform to manage remote access for any-sized organization. Unlike most VPNs, Firezone takes a granular, least-privileged approach to access management with group-based policies that control access to individual applications, entire subnets, and everything in between. Built on WireGuard®, a new VPN protocol 3-4 times faster than OpenVPN, Firezone integrates with your identity provider to ensure policies remain up to date with your organization's latest directory information.
NexusQR

The only sane QR-scanner. Shows you what you scanned so you can decide what you want to do. Always free, always without ads. Also has a 'History' feature that stores the content of QR-codes you scanned. Contents are never shared and the app does not make any external connections to anywhere.
