Twingate

Twingate is a zero-trust network access solution. Once configured, you can access your private Sliplane services using their internal hostnames from any device connected to your Twingate network.

Prerequisites

• A Twingate account
• A Sliplane server with private services you want to access

Step 1: Add a Resource

1. Log in to your Twingate admin console
2. Add a new Resource
3. Set the address to *.internal

This allows Twingate to route traffic to all your private Sliplane services.

Step 2: Deploy the Connector on Sliplane

1. In the Twingate dashboard, go to Deploy another Connector
2. Select Docker
3. Keep the default settings
4. Copy the generated Docker command

You’ll get a command like this:

docker run -d --sysctl net.ipv4.ping_group_range="0 2147483647" \
  --env TWINGATE_NETWORK="your-network" \
  --env TWINGATE_ACCESS_TOKEN="..." \
  --env TWINGATE_REFRESH_TOKEN="..." \
  --env TWINGATE_LABEL_HOSTNAME="hostname" \
  --env TWINGATE_LABEL_DEPLOYED_BY="docker" \
  --name "twingate-connector" \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  --pull=always \
  twingate/connector:1

In Sliplane, you can paste this command directly when creating a new service — Sliplane will parse it and configure the service automatically.

Setting	Value
Image	twingate/connector:1
Network	Private (no public access)

Step 3: Connect Your Local Device

1. Install the Twingate client on your local machine
2. Log in to your Twingate network

Step 4: Access Your Private Services

Once connected, you can access any private service using its internal hostname:

curl http://my-service.internal

The traffic goes through the encrypted Twingate tunnel, and your services remain inaccessible from the public internet.

Troubleshooting

Service not reachable:

• Ensure the Twingate connector is running on Sliplane
• Check that your local device is connected to Twingate
• Verify the *.internal resource is configured in Twingate

Connector not connecting:

• Verify your access and refresh tokens are correct
• Check the service logs in Sliplane
