WireGress vs Alternatives

Understanding the differences between infrastructure egress solutions.

Traditional VPN

Built for users

Designed for individual privacy and remote access, not infrastructure.

Dynamic IPs

Exit IPs often rotate or change based on server selection.

Manual failover

Requires client-side configuration changes or reconnection.

WireGress

Built for systems

Infrastructure-level solution for predictable egress identity.

Dedicated IP

Fixed, deterministic IP assigned to your environment.

Automatic failover

BGP-controlled failover at the routing layer, no client changes.

NAT Gateway

Cloud dependent

Tied to specific cloud provider infrastructure.

Limited control

Constrained by cloud provider's networking model.

WireGress

Provider independent

Works across any cloud provider or on-premise infrastructure.

Predictable routing

Deterministic behavior with infrastructure-level control.

Overlay Networks

Focus on connectivity

Designed for mesh networking, not egress identity.

No outbound identity guarantee

Exit points may vary or be unpredictable.

WireGress

Purpose-built for egress

Specifically engineered for deterministic outbound identity.

DIY Solution

Complex

Requires networking expertise, BGP configuration, and infrastructure management.

High maintenance

Ongoing operational burden and troubleshooting.

WireGress

Managed

Fully managed infrastructure with automated provisioning.

Ready in minutes

Provisioned and operational within 15–20 minutes.

When to Use WireGress

Allow-listing

Vendors require fixed IPs for API access

APIs

Payment or financial integrations

CI/CD

Automated deployments and testing

SaaS

Multi-tenant platforms with external integrations
