What is Firezone
Firezone is an open-source remote access platform built on WireGuard®, a modern VPN protocol that's 4-6x faster than OpenVPN.

firezone.companyis the FQDN of the Firezone installation.authentikis the unique ID used to generate logins for this provider.authentik.companyis the FQDN of the authentik installation.
:::note This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Be aware that any changes other than those explicitly mentioned in this guide could cause issues accessing your application. :::
authentik configuration
To support the integration of Firezone with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.
Create an application and provider in authentik
- Log in to authentik as an admin, and open the authentik Admin interface.
- Navigate to Applications > Applications and click Create with Provider to create an application and provider pair. (Alternatively you can first create a provider separately, then create the application and connect it with the provider.)
- Application: provide a descriptive name, an optional group for the type of application, the policy engine mode, and optional UI settings.
- Choose a Provider type: select OAuth2/OpenID Connect as the provider type.
- Configure the Provider: provide a name (or accept the auto-provided name), the authorization flow to use for this provider, and the following required configurations.
- Note the Client ID, Client Secret, and slug values because they will be required later.
- Set a
Strictredirect URI to https://firezone.company/auth/oidc/authentik/callback/. - Select any available signing key.
- Configure Bindings (optional): you can create a binding (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user's My applications page.
- Click Submit to save the new application and provider.

Although local authentication is quick and easy to get started with, you can limit attack surface by disabling local authentication altogether. For production deployments it's usually a good idea to disable local authentication and enforce MFA through authentik.
:::info In case something goes wrong with the configuration, you can temporarily re-enable local authentication via the REST API or by following instructions from https://www.firezone.dev/docs/administer/troubleshoot/#re-enable-local-authentication-via-cli. :::
