Install and sign in
What you need, how to install Ostgate, sign in with your Google account and find the instances you can reach.
Prepare your Google Cloud project
Let Identity-Aware Proxy reach your instances, enable the APIs Ostgate calls, and grant the IAM roles each person needs.
SSH, files and Terminal
SSH tabs and the file browser inside Ostgate, and plain ssh, scp and your IDE through Ostgate from outside it.
Remote Desktop
Windows VMs open in a tab of their own, through the same IAP tunnel, with no separate RDP client.
Tunnels and forwards
Ports on your instances, and anything they can reach, on your Mac's loopback.
Connection settings
SSH and RDP options, set once and inherited down to projects, zones and instances.
Troubleshooting
What a message means and what to do about it, from Connection Doctor's findings to sign-in problems.
