Reach your whole LAN
from anywhere.

One device bridges your home LAN, office network, or datacenter subnet into your private network — and your authorized devices can reach services behind it, without installing an agent on each LAN device.

Printers, NAS, cameras, servers, management consoles — no agent needed on any of them.

Developer plan Up to 10 subnets per gateway Routes propagate in seconds

Your entire LAN. Even devices that can't run an agent.

Half your network can't install software: the printer, the NAS, the cameras, the IPMI console on a server, the IoT gear. A VPN Gateway makes one capable device the bridge — it advertises the LAN's address range, and your authorized devices learn the route automatically.

No agents, no per-device setup — the gateway handles the connection.

Set up in three steps

1

Pick the bridge

In the dashboard, open a device that sits on the network you want to reach — a desktop or small server on that LAN.

2

Toggle VPN Gateway on

One switch in the device's VPN Gateway section. Network owner only.

3

Add the subnets

Enter the address ranges it can reach — 192.168.1.0/24 for a home LAN, up to 10 per gateway. Your other devices pick up the routes within seconds.

In, not out: how this differs from Internet Gateway

VPN Gateway brings a network in — your devices reach what's on a LAN behind the bridge. Internet Gateway sends your traffic out — a device's entire internet traffic exits through hardware you control. Different directions, different jobs; run both if you want both.

Questions

Do the LAN devices need the HostAnywhere agent?

No — that's the point. One device that can run the agent bridges the network; printers, NAS boxes, cameras, IoT gear and management consoles behind it become reachable without installing anything on them.

How many networks can one gateway bridge?

Up to 10 subnets per gateway, entered as CIDRs — 192.168.1.0/24 for a typical home LAN, 10.0.0.0/16 for a corporate range. Ranges overlapping your private network's own address space are rejected, and 0.0.0.0/0 is reserved for Internet Gateway.

How quickly do other devices learn the routes?

Within seconds of adding a subnet — no restarts, no per-device configuration.

Can I bridge more than one site?

Yes — set up a gateway at each location (home, office, datacenter) and your devices can reach all of them, subject to the per-gateway subnet limit.

What's the difference between VPN Gateway and Internet Gateway?

VPN Gateway brings a private network in — one device bridges your LAN so your other devices can reach what's on it. Internet Gateway sends your traffic out — a device's entire internet traffic exits through hardware you control. Run both if you want both.

Can I connect networks that use the same IP subnet?

Use a distinct subnet for each bridged site. If two locations both use, say, 192.168.1.0/24, the same address exists in two places and routes conflict — renumber one side, or bridge only the site you need. Ranges overlapping your private network's own address space are rejected automatically.

Does the gateway device need to stay on?

Yes — the bridge works while the gateway device is online and connected to that LAN. An always-on desktop or small server makes the best gateway.

Which plan do I need?

VPN Gateway is part of the Developer plan and above; only the network owner can enable it. See pricing.
