Current Scope

What Gator supports today and what data stays on your machine.

Supported target

Gator targets OPNsense. pfSense can connect and test, but the full management surface — VPN workflows, routing, tunnels, Tailscale, migration, backups — is OPNsense only for now.

What ships

  • Multi-instance firewall setup and switching
  • Local auth with session-based access after bootstrap
  • WireGuard VPN create, import, deploy, activate, deactivate, and re-adopt flows
  • Selective routing with built-in and custom app profiles
  • Site-to-site tunnel automation with SSH-assisted deployment and verification
  • Tailscale plugin setup and subnet advertisement management
  • Migration tooling for legacy firewall rules
  • Backup create, list, download, and delete workflows

What Gator stores locally

  • SQLite application state for instances, VPNs, tunnels, app profiles, cache, and sessions
  • Downloaded OPNsense config backups
  • Uploaded IP range files used by URL-table based routing flows
Heads up

Remote tunnel automation requires Linux hosts reachable over SSH running systemd and wg-quick.
