Wayk Bastion: Secure Remote Access Built for Teams
There’s remote access — and then there’s secure, auditable, and centralized remote access. Wayk Bastion, developed by Devolutions, takes the second route. It’s not just a screen control tool; it’s an entire self-hosted remote access platform, designed for companies that care about access governance, logging, and keeping sessions inside the network.
Unlike basic desktop sharing tools, Bastion gives full control over who can connect, when, and how — with built-in 2FA, role-based access, approval workflows, and session recording. And it integrates tightly with Devolutions’ own password vault and remote desktop manager, creating a full lifecycle of credentialed access.
Yes, it takes a bit of setup. But once it’s in place, it becomes one of those things that just works.
Key Features That Matter
| Feature | Why It Matters for Real Use |
| Self-Hosted Architecture | Keep everything on-prem or in private cloud — no external relay involved |
| Strong Authentication | Enforce 2FA, user roles, and access approvals |
| RDP/SSH Remote Access | Securely tunnel sessions through encrypted channel |
| Session Logging & Replay | Record who did what, when — full audit trail |
| Web-Based Admin Portal | Manage users, permissions, and access flows in one place |
| Integration Ready | Works with Devolutions Hub, Password Server, Remote Desktop Manager |
| Active Directory Support | Use existing identities and group policies |
| End-to-End Encryption | AES-256 and TLS for every session |
Who It’s Built For
– IT departments needing full oversight of internal and external remote sessions
– MSPs managing multiple client environments from a central console
– Organizations with compliance requirements (PCI, HIPAA, etc.)
– Companies replacing older jump server setups with something more controlled
Wayk Bastion isn’t just for techies — it’s for IT managers who need to show auditors a clean, logged record of who accessed what and when.
What You’ll Need
– Windows Server (2016 or later), plus SQL Server for the backend
– Wayk Agent on target machines (Windows/Linux supported)
– Wayk Bastion Server installed in a secure, reachable location
– Browser access to the web interface
– Optionally: AD, Devolutions Password Server, or RDM integrations
Setup is modular — small teams can run a simple setup, while larger orgs can scale out with multiple agents and Bastion nodes.
Getting Started
1. Download Wayk Bastion

3. Deploy Wayk Agents
Install agents on the endpoints you plan to access.
4. Configure users and roles
Set up groups, permissions, and access policies.
5. Start connecting
From the browser interface, launch secure sessions with full auditing in place.
What Admins Say
“We replaced jump hosts and screen sharing with Bastion — haven’t looked back.”
“Finally something that tracks every session and works with our password vault.”
“Easy to explain to compliance folks. That alone is worth it.”
One Last Thought
Wayk Bastion isn’t trying to be the lightest remote tool. It’s built for environments where traceability, identity control, and data security are priorities. If “who has access” is a question that gets asked often — this is probably what’s missing.
