# Overview of Devolutions Gateway

Browse Devolutions Gateway documentation for secure just-in-time access, deployment options, configuration, and troubleshooting guidance.

Devolutions Gateway provides authorized just-in-time access to resources in segmented networks.

When a user needs to securely access an endpoint, they launch their session either through Remote Desktop Manager (desktop application) or through the clientless, browser-based launcher — both backed by a Devolutions Server or Devolutions Cloud workspace. The client connects to a Devolutions Gateway instance, which grants just-in-time network access to the target endpoint. Multiple Devolutions Gateway instances can be deployed, each providing access to a different segmented network of remote endpoints.

Key benefits of Devolutions Gateway include:

* Reduced exposure to internal network resources with just-in-time RDP connections through the Devolutions Gateway.
* Replaced static VPN and firewall rules with dynamic access rules controlled by Devolutions Server.
* Enhanced security by giving remote access, or access to specific applications, in separate network segments on demand.
* Improved productivity by eliminating the need to update VPN or firewall rules for temporary access.
* Possible use of Devolutions Gateway with supported connection entry types (RDP, SSH, VNC, ARD, SCP, SFTP, PowerShell, Telnet, websites) in Remote Desktop Manager and supported workspaces (Devolutions Server, Devolutions Cloud).
* Increased scalability by eliminating the need to use multiple VPNs to access many environments simultaneously. Devolutions Gateway can handle over 75 concurrent sessions, depending on the infrastructure.
* Enforced role-based access controls for both internal and external users.
* Clientless, browser-based access for users without Remote Desktop Manager installed.
* Detailed audit logging and session recording for live auditing and compliance.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/gateway/overview-of-devolutions-gateway.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
