Secure, modern Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) with a clientless experience

STATUS UPDATE: The new BrowserBox version has landed. We were up and installable from December 2018 until a brief outage last month while we migrated to a binary release system. Sorry for the downtime and thanks for the patience. We are back up now with a soft-launch beta - expect rapid iteration and please report issues.
Stability & Authority: Shipping RBI since 2018, now on signed binary releases with a tighter CI loop. We are small by design but serious about reliability and fast support.

BrowserBox™ is a remote browser isolation (RBI) platform for security teams, SaaS builders, and IT ops. It streams a full modern browser to any client with low latency and 60 FPS, supports embedding, and runs on Windows, Linux, and containers. A product key is required for all BrowserBox usage.

At a glance:

• Clientless RBI: No plugins or downloads for end users.
• 60 FPS streaming: Smooth, responsive browsing over the network.
• Embed anywhere: Drop in the BrowserBox webview to your app or portal.
• Flexible deployment: Works on Windows, Linux, Docker, and LXC.
• Built for control: Policies, isolation, and audit-friendly workflows.

Secure Web Browsing Seamless PDF Viewing Powerful DevTools Full Browser Features (File Uploads, etc.)

🌐 Unlock Any Network Scenario with BrowserBox – Whether you're a SD-WAN architect optimizing enterprise connectivity, a NAT traversal expert punching through firewalls, a WiFi specialist ensuring seamless access on the go, or a NOC pro managing mission-critical operations, BrowserBox delivers unmatched flexibility. From massive country-scale deployments to secure homelab setups, our platform adapts to virtually every operating system, client device, and networking topology you'll encounter. Run it headless on servers without a graphical display or GPU for efficient, low-footprint ops—or leverage full GPU acceleration and manual graphical displays when you need visual power. BrowserBox isn't just software; it's an all-in-one toolkit for secure, scalable remote browser access that fits your environment, not the other way around. From mesh to edge, from overlay to backbone — BrowserBox works with it all. 🚀

Here's the core of what makes BrowserBox a networking powerhouse—a detailed table of our supported topologies. We've got you covered from simple HTTP setups to advanced overlay networks, with zero-compromise reliability across platforms. (And stay tuned: Native support via the bbx CLI is coming soon for NGINX, Cloudflare Tunnels, and ZeroTier on all platforms, plus automated SSH port forwarding with built-in certificate management and orchestration. Get ready for even smoother integrations! 🎉)

Notes on Flexibility & Power:

• Headless or Graphical? Your Call. BrowserBox thrives on headless machines—no display or GPU needed for core ops—making it perfect for servers or cloud instances. But when you want it, tap into GPU acceleration for heavy rendering or enable manual graphical displays for hands-on control. Scale from a single homelab box to nationwide rollouts without missing a beat. 💪
• Why BrowserBox Wins Networks: In a world of rigid tools, BrowserBox stands out by embracing every topology. Punch through NAT with ease, integrate with SD-WAN for optimized routing, ensure WiFi stability for mobile pros, and give NOC teams the configurability to monitor and manage at scale. It's not just supported—it's battle-tested for real-world wins. Ready to deploy? Fork, configure, and conquer! 🌍

BrowserBox runs seamlessly across a wide range of operating systems and containerization technologies:

Platform	Supported	Icon
Tails*	❌
Windows & Windows Server	✅
Debian	✅
Ubuntu	✅
CentOS Stream	✅
RHEL	✅
NixOS	✅
Docker	✅
LXC	✅
Podman‡	🚧
Windows 9x†	✅

Notes

• *Tails is not supported because neither Chrome nor Docker can be installed.
• ‡Podman support is currently under consideration.
• †Windows 9x clients are supported by running the new win9x_bbpro command which will output the login link for legacy Windows clients (such as Internet Explorer (IE 5, IE 6, etc) or Netscape. Supported Windows 9x operating systems for legacy clients include Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT the BrowserBox server must still be run on a modern system, but now you can connect to BrowserBox from legacy Windows 9x machines and browsers. Modern clients can still use the legacy endpoint but the experience is understandably jurassic.
