Reduce public exposure
Share a local service without forwarding its port on your router. Connections travel through the private network.
Project Zero by Actieve Systems
Your local connection.
Privately shared.
Share the apps and services running on your computer with the people you choose. Project Zero connects your devices over a private Zero Trust network, so your local services stay off the public internet.

How it works
From your computer to your people.
Keep your services where they already run. Use Project Zero to choose who can reach them.
Create your account
Share personally, or register a company and invite your team. Organize people into groups when you need different levels of access.
Connect your devices
Sign in to the Project Zero desktop or mobile app. Set up the device for your private network using the app's prompts.
Share a local service
Use the desktop app to choose a service on your computer. Give access to a company, group or person, or create a share link.
Connect from anywhere
Approved users run the app and connect using the service's private address. Keep the hosting computer online and the service running.
Private by design
Keep your network dark.
Give access with intent.
A dark network keeps shared services off the public internet. Zero Trust means a user needs explicit permission to reach each service, even after joining your network.
Build your private networkChoose who gets in
Grant access to a whole company, a team inside it or an individual. Review and remove grants as needs change.
Keep your tools
Use the private address in your browser, database client or remote desktop tool. Your service stays on its hosting device.
Manage devices centrally
See the devices attached to your account and remove a device when it should no longer have network access.
Put it to work
Local tools, wherever you work.
Share a specific connection with the people who need it.
Show a local web app
Give a teammate access to a development site or internal wiki running on your computer, using its private web address.
Reach a private database
Share a SQL Server, MySQL or PostgreSQL connection with your data team. Keep the database's service port off the public internet.
Connect to your workstation
Reach an RDP or SSH service on an approved computer from another enrolled device. Your existing service credentials still apply.
Give a contractor focused access
Share the service a collaborator needs through a person, group or share link. Remove access when the work is done.

Good to know
Before your first connection.
What does sharing a local connection mean?
You share access to a specific service running on one of your devices, such as a web app, database or remote desktop. Project Zero gives approved users a private address for that service. It does not share your entire internet connection.
Who can reach something I share?
Users you grant access to through a company, group, individual grant or share link. They need an account and a device set up for the private network. Services can still require their own login.
Does my computer need to stay on?
Yes. The hosting device must be online, its Project Zero app and required network components must be running, and the local service must be available.
Do I need to open ports?
You do not need to open an inbound port for a shared service. The optional desktop routing feature can require a reachable host and forwarded port when you choose to carry traffic for other people.
