PROVIDE GATEWAY – Reverse Proxy

ProVide Gateway

Using a reverse proxy means you do not expose internal systems via public firewall ports. You can compare it with having a well-trained doorman who receives and delivers packages behind locked doors.

Why do you need one

The short answer is, for a really high amount of security. If you have a DMZ zone, you can keep the gateway on the internet side, while keeping the server unexposed on the internal network. You then form a secure connection between the gateway and the server, only allowing traffic to the server, while eliminating all other traffic. The reverse proxy means all connections from your ProVide server are made from within a firewall, or a tiered array of firewalls that need no externally exposed port openings.

How does it work?

ProVide Gateway allows you to make a secure connection between ProVide running in the Internal network and ProVide Gateway running connected to the internet. It’s a secure tunnel allowing the traffic between ProVide and the Gateway while terminating all other incoming traffic through the DMZ. You can configure ProVide to create a route to the gateway on the following protocols, SFTP, HTTP, HTTPS. Each route can be enabled and disabled with the press of a button.

Linux or Windows or Both?

ProVide Gateway runs on both Windows (Server 2016/2019) and Linux (Ubuntu Server v16 or later is officially supported and in addition, it’s known that ProVide Gateway is used on Centos, SUSE and Debian distributions as well).

How is the Setup?

On Windows there is an easy setup software, which is done in a few clicks with no active choices needed. On Linux you are simply provided with the executable, which you can simply run or register as a service if you wish to. Setting up connections between ProVide and the Gateway is done in the administration interface for ProVide. ProVide Gateway can be configured to create routes through the gateway using SFTP, HTTP and HTTPS. Each route can after configuration be enabled and disabled with the press of a button in the ProVide Administration interface.!

Gateway is made for those who value very high security

It allows communication with ProVide through DMZ, and safely terminates all connections and never stores any data in your DMZ.

The client will never connect directly to the server, instead, it connects through the gateway to the server located safely in your internal network. Your external clients will connect just as they normally would without any need for additional hardware, software or knowledge.

Independent allocation

ProVide Gateway runs on both Windows (Server 2016/2019) and Linux (Ubuntu 18.04.4 is officially supported and in addition, it’s known that ProVide Gateway is used on Centos, SUSE and Debian distributions as well).

Guard Booth

The reverse proxy service operates much like a guard booth. When a client comes to the counter and asks to deliver a package or to receive a package the guards will ask for credentials,

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Using “Events and messages” available from the MAXI license, ProVide can run any number of organization specified security checks even before the files are allowed to be stored and reject the files that do not pass. Also, ProVide can trigger notification and action pipelines after the files are stored so that the appropriate authorities are made aware and can take required actions.

ProVide unlike many other solutions does not involve uploading, transferring or changing the current file structure. Instead ProVide enables structured and secure access directly to source files. ProVide furthermore integrates seamlessly to your existing AD or to custom user permission systems.

ProVide is a predominantly a software solution running on windows servers that enables structured, monitored and secure access directly to files within a current file storage system. ProVide in that sense does not involve any data migration or external cloud storage. Please note that Provide can also be run on cloud servers e.g. any VPS but still under your organizations control. We also have a ProVide AWS SAAS alternative for temporary or persistent cloud storage.

Generally NO, not at all! Provide can be installed and rolled out in under an hour for most organizations. It is easy to configure, easy to use, integrates with your current AD, and does not require any data migration or off-site file transfers. That said: if you go beyond the “standard” implementation ProVide is a real powerhouse when it comes to system integrations, scripting and advanced functionality. Our users come up with interesting scripts and adaptations and integrate ProVide into large systems daily. We still do not know how far you can take ProVide and such implementations increase the project scope. To cater for larger projects and integrations Provide is extremely portable and customizations using scripts, or software talking to directly to our ProVide API does not affect the ability to update the core system without affecting said customizations including both looks or functionality

Yes. ProVide was built from the start not to clog the windows registry (and preferably avoid it altogether). This means setup, settings, accounts and share administration is stored in folders so that you can move an entire installation between servers. Install on new server and make sure the new server has the correct security certificate (if using HTTPS), license, move relevant folders, and if included in the same a domain it will work.
