Warpgate is an open-source network security tool developed by WarpTech that allows secure and efficient communication between different network segments.
In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to install Warpgate on OpenBSD.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
- A running OpenBSD instance
- Superuser or root privileges on the system
- A working internet connection
Installation Steps
Open the terminal and log in as a superuser or switch to the root user using the
sucommand.Install the required dependencies:
pkg_add python-3.7.7p4 py3-pip gitClone the Warpgate repository by executing the following command:
git clone https://github.com/warp-tech/warpgate.gitNavigate to the cloned Warpgate project directory:
cd warpgateRun the following command to install the required Python packages:
pip3 install -r requirements.txtCreate the Warpgate systemd service file:
touch /etc/systemd/system/warpgate.serviceOpen the Warpgate service file using your favorite text editor, e.g
vim:vim /etc/systemd/system/warpgate.servicePaste the following content into the service file:
[Unit] Description=Warpgate Service After=syslog.target network.target [Service] User=root WorkingDirectory=/path/to/warpgate ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/python3 /path/to/warpgate/warpgate.py -c /path/to/warpgate/configs/warpgate.cfg Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.targetReplace
/path/to/warpgatewith the actual path where you cloned the Warpgate repository.Reload the systemd daemon:

Warpgate is now installed and running on your OpenBSD system. You can configure Warpgate by editing the warpgate.cfg file in the configs folder located in the Warpgate installation directory.
You can also test Warpgate by sending traffic through the tunnels created by Warpgate. To learn more about Warpgate and how to use it, refer to the official documentation at https://warpgate.readthedocs.io.
