Overview
gnway is a technology company focused on providing enterprise-level connectivity and operational services, rather than being a single piece of software. It can be understood as a brand with multiple software products that address different business pain points. Its core business is to help organizations easily and securely achieve remote access, intranet penetration, and information-based operations.Core Identity: Enterprise Connectivity Solution Provider
The core value of gnway lies in solving a common and headache-inducing problem in enterprise network environments: how to allow external users to securely and stably access internal software or servers under complex network conditions (e.g., no static public IP, behind a local area network).
Key Products Under the Brand
To understand gnway, we need to look at its flagship products.
Tianlian (Flagship Product)
What is it? Tianlian is an enterprise-grade SD-WAN intelligent networking solution. Think of it as a "virtual private LAN" operated by gnway.
How does it work? Install a Tianlian client on the headquarters server and on the computers that need remote access (e.g., employee home PCs, traveling laptops). All devices with the client installed, regardless of location or underlying network complexity, can securely "join" this virtual LAN through gnway's servers, as if they were all on the same office intranet.
Main use cases:
Remote work: Employees can access company software like Yonyou, Kingdee, ERP systems, or file servers from home just as they would in the office.
Multi-site networking: Connect headquarters and branch office networks for data sharing.
Software remote access: Provide solutions for software vendors to let their clients easily use their published software remotely.
Peanut Hull (Classic Product)
What is it? Peanut Hull is a well-known intranet penetration and dynamic DNS software.
What problem does it solve?
Dynamic DNS: Most home or small business broadband IP addresses change dynamically. Peanut Hull provides a fixed domain name (e.g., your-name.vicp.net). No matter how your public IP changes, this domain always points to your network, allowing you to easily host websites or servers.
Intranet penetration: When you don't have a public IP, Peanut Hull can map internal services (e.g., websites, surveillance, remote desktop) to the external network for public access.
Difference from Tianlian: Peanut Hull is more like a "port mapper" or "dynamic DNS service," while Tianlian builds a "virtual LAN," which is superior in security and manageability.
YisuLian (Application Virtualization Product)
What is it? YisuLian is an application virtualization publishing system.
How does it work? It installs software that needs to be shared within the enterprise (e.g., ERP, Office) on a server and then "publishes" it through the YisuLian platform. Remote users do not need to install the full software client; they can run the server-side software smoothly through a browser or a very lightweight client.
Advantages: Centralized deployment and management, data security, and reduced client maintenance costs.
Main Users and Typical Application Scenarios
gnway's products primarily serve the following groups:
Small and medium-sized enterprises: Lacking professional IT teams and static public IPs, they need low-cost remote office and business system remote access solutions.
Software vendors: Want to provide convenient remote access capabilities to their users to enhance product competitiveness.
IT administrators and service providers: Manage networks and software systems for multiple clients.
Tech enthusiasts: Use Peanut Hull to set up personal websites, access NAS, or remotely control home devices.
