Survey results so far
Most responses were anonymous, and this is the public follow-up.
Some requested changes were already in progress while the survey was going on, and some were completed shortly afterwards.
The 0.27.x and 0.28.0 releases address several recurring requests form the survey: clustering, RDP clipboard redirection, faster playback of long terminal recordings, SSH command auditing, credential encryption at rest, and fixing IP restrictions for API tokens.
Other requests—including SSO improvements, backup and upgrade guidance, observability, SSH certificates, and web-SSH file transfer—remain on the radar.
If you responded anonymously but would like a follow-up, feel free to re-submit the survey with your email address.
Features
Credential encryption at rest - #2386
Warpgate now offers encrypting database-stored target credentials at rest. You should enable it when using an external MySQL/PostgreSQL database.
Generate a master key with openssl rand -base64 32 and set it via the WARPGATE_ENCRYPTION_KEY environment variable to automatically encrypt all present and future credentials in the database on the next service restart.
SSH shell command auditing - #2407
Commands typed by the user in an SSH shell session now emit audit log events.
Seeking index for terminal recordings - #2419
Long terminal recordings now load incrementally in the UI. Only applies to recordings made in the new version.
