Reference Architectures for the Access Gate.

A library of validated network topologies for deploying the Trout Access Gate in real environments. Each architecture covers base topology, traffic flows, and key configuration points.

Architecture Principles

Built for Real Industrial Networks.

Every architecture is designed around the constraints of operational environments. No downtime, no agents, no redesign.

Overlay-Based Deployment

All architectures use overlay networking to add zero-trust controls on top of your existing physical infrastructure. No VLAN restructuring, no re-cabling.

Traffic Flow Coverage

Each architecture documents north-south (VPN ingress) and east-west (lateral) flows — so you know exactly how traffic moves and where enforcement happens.

Incremental Adoption

Start with OT-only coverage and extend to IT. Or deploy single-site and expand to multi-site. Each architecture is a stepping stone, not a full replacement.

Multi-Site Ready

The multi-site architecture shows how enclaves extend across WAN links — giving you unified policy and visibility without a central cloud dependency.

Configuration Guidance

Every diagram includes key configuration points: what to connect, how to route traffic, and which policies to apply at the Access Gate level.
