TwinGate has designed a network architecture that separates its three primary concepts into separate layers to optimize for performance, security controls, and ease of deployment. The distributed network architecture uses private proxies to provide the best set of tradeoffs between security and flexibility. NAT traversal is used to create peer-to-peer connections between clients and resources to minimize latency. Relaying infrastructure is available as a backup transport method when NAT traversal is not possible. Twingate automatically prioritizes the lowest latency transport option that's available between peers. QUIC, a new transport layer network protocol, has been introduced into Twingate's peer-to-peer connections, offering faster connection establishment, greater tolerance to network changes, and more effective traffic management of multiple concurrent data streams.
