Enables Secure, Private Device Communication and Remote Management - Even Behind CGNAT and Restrictive Networks
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 25, 2025 -- Atsign, the leader in invisible networking, announced today that its NoPorts technology is now available for devices running OpenWrt. This breakthrough enables secure, peer-to-peer device communication and remote management, even in traditionally challenging network environments, empowering both device manufacturers and their customers with unparalleled privacy and security.
Building on Atsign's proven "security through invisibility” approach, NoPorts on OpenWrt eliminates the need for open ports and centralized servers, making devices effectively invisible to attackers. This advancement extends the benefits of secure, private connectivity to a wider range of devices, including routers, IoT devices, and custom hardware running OpenWrt.
"This is a fundamental shift in how devices connect and communicate," said Colin Constable, CTO at Atsign. "By embedding NoPorts into their OpenWrt-based devices, manufacturers can offer their customers a truly secure and private way to connect and manage their networks and the devices behind them. This is especially crucial in scenarios where traditional network configurations fail. The best part is that NoPorts is far more simple and far more secure than other alternatives today, such as VPNs."
Key Benefits for Device Manufacturers and their Customers:
"The significance for device manufacturers is clear," said Constable. "They can now offer their customers the ability to securely and privately access their routers and devices behind them, even when those devices are on networks that are traditionally difficult to reach, such as mobile networks, networks using CGNAT like satellite networks or Double NAT such as home labs. This not only enhances customer satisfaction but also strengthens the overall security posture of their products."
NoPorts leverages Atsign Platform, a unique, peer-to-peer architecture that eliminates the need for centralized servers and open ports. This approach provides a secure, private, and efficient way for devices to communicate and connect, even behind firewalls and NATs. This technology creates connections that are fully encrypted and private without any of the headaches of overlay networks.
This advancement further solidifies Atsign's commitment to providing "invisible" security solutions that empower manufacturers and their customers to control their data and devices without compromising security or usability.
