What is instant web access?
Instant web access is a feature that allows admins to preconfigure access to internal resources through a private gateway with a fixed IP address.
This means employees, contractors, and BYOD users can open internal websites and web tools directly in the browser, with no extra setup or sign-in steps on their side.
The NordLayer Browser handles the secure connection in the background and routes each request through the access path you’ve defined, so internal tools load instantly for users while you retain full access control.
use cases
Here’s how instant web access streamlines your workflows
Extend secure access to BYOD devices
Personal laptops often sit outside standard device management. Instant web access enforces routing in the browser, so users can securely access approved internal web tools from any device.
Make remote access both safe and easy
Remote employees often waste time switching between gateways to access resources. Here, traffic is automatically routed through the correct gateway, so internal tools open directly in the browser.
Give third parties access only to specific tools
Contractors, agencies, and auditors often need access to your internal apps. Assign them a gateway that only routes traffic to approved sites and keep the rest of your network inaccessible.
Segment access by team or role
Different teams need access to different internal tools. With instant web access, you can assign teams to specific private gateways, so users can only reach internal sites approved for their role.
