# GatePass
Source: https://docs.infraista.com/en/networking/gatepass



**GatePass** gives your team a secure browser lane to private portals and dashboards. People install
the GatePass extension in Chrome, Edge or Brave. The sites you list go through your **hub** and leave
from your own **gateway**, so portals that only trust your office or server IP let them in.
Everything else stays on the person's normal connection and isn't logged.

## How it works [#how-it-works]

| Part              | What it is                                                                                                                                             |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Hub**           | Groups the people, sites and gateways for one team or purpose (for example your studio staff). Each hub has its own endpoint the extension connects to |
| **Gateway**       | Where visits leave for the private site, so portals see its IP. You install the free **Gateway Agent** on your own Linux server                        |
| **Routing rules** | Which sites go through GatePass. Only those are routed and logged                                                                                      |
| **Users**         | The people who sign in to the extension, with a password and an authenticator app. They don't need a console account                                   |

What people are told: their invite and the extension say that your organization logs the sites they
open through GatePass, and only those. GatePass never decrypts traffic; for HTTPS sites it only sees the
site name, time and data used.

## Get started [#get-started]

1. [Set up GatePass](/en/networking/gatepass/set-up-gatepass): your first hub, gateway, sites and
   invites, in four steps.
2. Your team [uses GatePass in their browser](/en/networking/gatepass/use-gatepass-in-your-browser).
