Maksim Lanies & CloudBridge Relay
The Next-Gen Corporate Tunnel
Maksim Lanies is the founder and CEO of 2GC and the architect behind CloudBridge Relay - a next-generation solution for secure and scalable corporate access.
With over 10 years of experience in cybersecurity, Maksim specializes in Zero Trust architectures, enterprise network security, access automation, and scalable infrastructure design.
His mission is clear: To create a domestic alternative to foreign VPNs and proxy solutions and make secure corporate access as seamless as mobile connectivity.
The Problem with Traditional VPNs
Single Point of Failure
Traditional VPNs rely on centralized servers that create bottlenecks and vulnerabilities. When the server goes down, entire teams lose access to critical resources.
Legacy Protocols
Most VPN solutions use outdated protocols like IPSec and OpenVPN that weren't designed for modern cloud environments and mobile-first workforces.
Complex Setup
IT teams spend countless hours configuring clients, managing certificates, and troubleshooting connection issues instead of focusing on business objectives.
Poor Performance
Static routing and protocol limitations result in high latency, frequent disconnections, and frustrated users who resort to insecure workarounds.
CloudBridge Relay: Cellular-Like Architecture for Business
CloudBridge Relay is not just another VPN or proxy. It's a completely new architecture - inspired by how mobile networks work, but built for business.
"I've always dreamed of making secure access to internal resources as simple and reliable as mobile connectivity. VPNs and proxies often bring more problems than solutions: complex setups, outdated protocols, poor performance. So I asked myself - why not build corporate access like a cellular network?"
Instead of relying on a single VPN server or static proxy, CloudBridge Relay is a distributed network of relay nodes, where each relay acts like a cell tower, user devices automatically connect to the nearest relay server, and the system intelligently picks the fastest and most secure route for traffic.
Protocol Prioritization & Performance
QUIC (UDP, RFC 9000)
Default protocol offering ultra-fast connections with 0-RTT handshakes and multiplexing capabilities for optimal performance.
HTTP/2
Intelligent fallback when UDP is blocked, maintaining high performance through header compression and stream multiplexing.
HTTP/1.1
Ultimate fallback ensuring compatibility with legacy network infrastructure and restrictive firewall configurations.
All protocol selection happens silently in the background - no user intervention required. The system continuously monitors network conditions and automatically switches to the optimal protocol for each connection.
Built on Zero Trust Principles
From day one, CloudBridge Relay follows Zero Trust architecture with four core principles:
Never trust by default
Every connection is authenticated and authorized regardless of location or device type.
Always verify every connection
Continuous validation using JWT tokens with cryptographic signatures and time-based expiry.
Enforce least privilege access
Users and devices receive only the minimum permissions required for their specific role and tasks.
Monitor continuously
Real-time analysis of user behavior, device health, and network traffic patterns for threat detection.
Modern Authentication & Enterprise Integration
JWT-Based Authentication
- Cryptographically signed tokens encode user roles, permissions, and expiry
- Tokens verified instantly without database queries
- JWKS (JSON Web Key Set) endpoint for automated key rotation
- Stateless validation reduces infrastructure complexity
Seamless Enterprise Integration
- Native integration with Keycloak for SSO and MFA
- LDAP/Active Directory support for user management
- Automatic public key refresh with zero downtime
- API-first design for custom integrations
This architecture eliminates the need for complex certificate management while providing enterprise-grade security that scales with your organization's growth.
Admin Portal & Role-Based Access Control
CloudBridge Relay includes a web-based management dashboard that acts as a centralized control plane for IT administrators.
User & Device Management
Centralized view of all users, devices, and their connection status with granular control over access permissions.
Role Assignment & Policies
Flexible role-based system supporting Employee, Admin, Guest, and custom roles with per-division access rules.
Security Monitoring
Real-time connection history, security events, and behavioral analysis to detect and prevent threats.
Role information is embedded in JWT tokens for real-time validation, ensuring least privilege access while simplifying auditing and compliance requirements.
AI & Automation: A Smart Network That Learns
The system goes beyond static routing by leveraging machine learning to create an intelligent, self-optimizing network infrastructure.
Behavioral Analysis
Analyzes user and device behavior patterns to predict normal usage and detect anomalies that could indicate security threats.
Load Prediction
Predicts peak loads and automatically scales resources, ensuring optimal performance during high-traffic periods.
Traffic Balancing
Dynamically balances traffic between relay nodes based on real-time performance metrics and capacity.
Threat Detection
Automatically flags or blocks suspicious activity using ML-powered threat detection algorithms.
Monitoring & Transparency
Everything is designed with transparency and observability in mind, providing IT teams with comprehensive visibility into network performance and security.
