Selective Routing
Push only the traffic you want through VPN tunnels without juggling brittle manual rules.
Gator Local firewall control Self-hosted for OPNsense power users
Stop clicking through firewall menus just to ship one VPN policy.
Gator gives homelab operators a sharp local control center for WireGuard VPNs, selective routing, site-to-site tunnels, backups, and drift recovery.
VPN routing One-click policy deployment
Backups Download and restore config snapshots
Instances Manage multiple OPNsense boxes
Capabilities
Built for people who already know what their firewall should do.
Gator is not trying to abstract away your network. It gives you a faster, safer interface for doing the things you already do manually in OPNsense.
Tunnel Automation
Stand up site-to-site WireGuard links across OPNsense and Linux boxes from one control surface.
Drift Detection
See when live firewall state diverges from what Gator expects, then re-adopt or re-deploy cleanly.
Local-First Admin
Built for self-hosters running on trusted local networks, not SaaS dashboards and cloud lock-in.
Workflow
One local app, one operational source of truth.
Connect your firewall
Add an OPNsense instance, verify API access, and let Gator discover what is already running.
Deploy or adopt state
Create new VPN routing policies or bring legacy rules under management without losing the real-world layout.
Recover from drift fast
If the firewall changes underneath you, Gator surfaces drift, guides re-adoption, and keeps the UI honest.
Open source
GPLv3, self-hosted, and built for your own network.
Run the app locally, let Go serve the built frontend, and keep the control plane inside the same trusted environment as your firewall.
