BstraprSecure infrastructure collaboration
Your infrastructure. One secure workspace to build on it.
Connect the VMs, servers, laptops, and customer environments you already use. Control who gets access, give your team a ready-to-work development environment, and manage delivery from one place.
Your infrastructure stays yours. Start with one environment. No hosting migration.
One secure boundary for who can access your infrastructure — and how work gets done inside it.
Bstrapr's core function is controlled access: identity-based, environment-scoped, and centrally revocable. Workspaces and delivery tools sit inside that same access context — not beside it as disconnected products.
When a developer opens a workspace, it is scoped to the environments they are authorized to reach. Projects and documentation stay tied to the same infrastructure context.
This is not four unrelated tools. It is one secure access model with the workspace and delivery layer a lean team needs once access is granted.
Connect · Control · Build · Deliver
One workflow around infrastructure you already use
Private connectivity, access control, development workspaces, and delivery tools — built around the same access model.
Bring your own infrastructure
Connect an existing cloud VM, VPS, remote server, development machine, or customer environment. Your infrastructure stays where it is.
Give the right people the right access
Invite employees, developers, contractors, clients, or partners. Grant access only to the environments they need, then revoke it from one place when work ends.
Work inside the access context
Open a development workspace scoped to the project and private resources the user is authorized to reach. Code and iterate without treating network access as a separate workflow.
Keep work and documentation together
Track delivery with projects and Kanban, organize tasks, and generate product and technical documentation from the same project context.
From private infrastructure to a working team
Connect infrastructure you already run with the people, workspace, and delivery context needed to get work done — around one access model.
Add an environment
Enroll a cloud VM, remote server, development machine, or customer environment as a Site. Ownership stays with you.
Create a project
Group the people, environments, workspace, tasks, and documentation that belong to one body of work.
Invite & assign access
Add employees, contractors, or partners and grant each person only the Sites their role requires.
Build, deliver, revoke
Open a scoped workspace, track delivery, generate docs, and revoke access centrally when the engagement ends.

Bstrapr control layerProvider-agnostic by design. Your Sites stay where they already run — Bstrapr manages who reaches which Site, and when that access ends.
How it works, technically
Concrete mechanisms technical buyers can evaluate — not generic “encrypted connection” marketing language. Details match the security overview.
Outbound Site enrollment
Each Site enrolls by installing a VPN client that dials out to the Bstrapr control plane with a one-time auth key — no inbound firewall holes required on infrastructure you own.
Identity- and Site-scoped grants
Access is evaluated per person and per Site, not by flat network membership. Someone can be limited to a single environment even if other Sites share the same private fabric.
Central revoke without rebuild
Revoking access ends that person’s Bstrapr-mediated route to a Site immediately. The Site stays enrolled and under your ownership — no rebuild required to end an engagement.
Access, workspace, and delivery in one product

VPN connectivity is the starting point, not the product.
A regular VPN connects people to a network. Bstrapr adds the access boundary, workspace, and delivery context so teams control access and get work done in one operating model.
A VPN answers: “Can this person connect?”
Bstrapr answers: “What can this person access, where can they work, what are they working on, and how do we remove access when the work is done?”
| Capability | Regular VPN | Bstrapr |
|---|---|---|
| Private connectivity | Yes | Yes |
| Controlled user access | Varies | Yes |
| Scoped environment access | Varies | Yes |
| Collaborator lifecycle | Usually separate | Yes |
| Development workspace | No | Yes |
| Projects / Kanban | No | Yes |
| Documentation generation | No | Yes |
| Infrastructure + work context | No | Unified |
More than connecting machines
Connectivity alone is not enough. Bstrapr is designed around the relationship between infrastructure owners, Sites, and collaborators — so teams manage who should have access, what they reach, and when that access ends.
Infrastructure ownership
Keep your cloud VMs, VPS and machines where they already run. No hosting migration.
Collaborator lifecycle
Invite specialists for an engagement and offboard them cleanly when the work ends.
Site-scoped access
Grant each person only the Sites required for their work — not broad environment access.
Workspace inside access
Open a development workspace scoped to authorized environments — not a separate network hop.
Delivery in context
Projects, Kanban, and documentation stay tied to the same people and Sites.
Centralized offboarding
Revoke Bstrapr-mediated access from one control layer without rebuilding the Site.
Built for teams that hire outside talent
Agencies & product studios
Keep client environments separated
Organize access across client environments while keeping clear boundaries between clients, Sites, and delivery teams.
For AgenciesLean software teams
Stay small without giving up control
Bring in specialists when you need them and give controlled access to the infrastructure your product already runs on.
For Lean TeamsEarly-stage startups
Stay lean without handing over the keys
Connect the environment they need, grant access for the engagement, and take it back when the work ends.
For StartupsOutcomes teams design for with Bstrapr
Representative workflows — specific access outcomes, not generic praise.
7-person product studio
Gave three developers controlled access across two client environments, then revoked a contractor when the engagement ended.
Lean software team
Brought in a DevOps specialist for a launch window with Site-scoped access only — no shared root credentials left behind.
Contractor-using startup
Connected one production Site, invited the first external developer, and kept founder ownership of the infrastructure.

Agencies, lean teams and startups shaping collaborator-access workflows with us.
Security is part of the workflow, not a slogan.
Bstrapr sits between the infrastructure you own and the people you authorize. Access is tied to identity, scoped to assigned environments, and carried over encrypted connectivity. Application data, source code, and workloads remain on infrastructure you control.
Authentication & identity
Collaborators authenticate through Bstrapr before reaching assigned Sites.
Outbound Site enrollment
Sites enroll with outbound encrypted connectivity — no inbound firewall holes on infrastructure you own.
Site-scoped authorization
Access is granted per Site — not as open-ended environment credentials.
Enforced revocation
When you revoke, Bstrapr-mediated access for that collaborator ends without rebuilding the Site.
Tenant isolation
Accounts and Sites are isolated so one team’s access model does not bleed into another’s.
Your data stays yours
Bstrapr manages access relationships. Application data and workloads remain on your infrastructure.
Secure access, workspace, and delivery — priced for lean teams
Plans cover the Bstrapr platform layer — Sites, collaborators, workspace, and delivery — not your cloud or server bill.
A Site is an enrolled environment (VM, server or machine). Connected machines behind a Site are included in plan capacity.

FAQ
Is Bstrapr a VPN?
Bstrapr uses encrypted connectivity to reach enrolled Sites, but connectivity is only one layer. It also manages who can access which environments, how that access changes over time, and — where enabled — the workspace and project context around the work.
Do I need to move my servers to Bstrapr?
No. Connect supported infrastructure you already operate. Your VM, server, laptop, or customer environment stays where it is.
What is a Site?
A Site is an environment you enroll in Bstrapr — for example a cloud VM, VPS, server, development machine, or other supported private environment.
How is this different from Tailscale or Teleport?
Those tools focus primarily on the access layer. Bstrapr treats controlled access as the foundation, then adds workspace and delivery context so an authorized relationship becomes tracked, documented work — not only a connection.
Does Bstrapr replace Jira, Notion, or my IDE?
No. Bstrapr is not a universal replacement for specialist tools. Its advantage is bringing secure infrastructure access, development context, and project delivery closer together for teams that benefit from one workflow.
Does Bstrapr charge for my VM resources?
No. Your infrastructure remains with your existing provider or hardware. Bstrapr pricing covers the access, workspace, and delivery layer.
What happens when someone leaves a project?
Revoke their Bstrapr-mediated access from the control layer. The underlying Site remains connected and under your ownership.
When should I use Dedicated?
When scale, isolation, governance or deployment needs exceed the shared platform. See the Dedicated overview or contact us.
Built for teams that want to stay lean and stay in control.
Early teams often need expertise they cannot justify hiring full time. The answer should not be handing every freelancer or agency broad access to your environment. Bstrapr helps founders and small teams use infrastructure they already have while keeping a clear boundary between what they own and what collaborators can reach.
