Pomerium is an identity-aware reverse proxy designed to replace the now obsolete oauth_proxy. It introduces an OAuth step before forwarding your request to the backend, ensuring secure exposure of self-hosted websites to the public internet. By incorporating identity verification into the proxying process, Pomerium enhances security by authenticating users before granting access to protected resources. This enables organizations to safely expose internal services to external users or systems without compromising security. With Pomerium, users can establish a robust and reliable authentication layer for their applications, safeguarding against unauthorized access and protecting sensitive data.
