New: On-premises connector, securely connect internal systems

You can now connect internal systems behind your firewall to 9brains. The new on-premises connector establishes an encrypted WireGuard tunnel into your company network, making databases, ERP systems, file servers and other internal services reachable for the platform.

What is possible?

The on-premises connector provides the secure network connection to your internal systems. In combination with an integration (e.g. PostgreSQL) or a skill, the AI assistant can then work directly with these systems:

• Query databases: Set up a PostgreSQL integration and ask questions in natural language
• Connect ERP systems: Create a skill that talks to your ERP system’s API
• Index files: Connect an internal file server or NAS as a data source

Supported systems

The connector is protocol-agnostic, anything reachable via TCP works:

• Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle
• ERP/CRM: Odoo, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics
• File servers: SMB/CIFS, NAS systems, Nextcloud
• Web applications: Internal APIs, BI dashboards, monitoring systems
• Directory services: Active Directory, LDAP

Security

• Outbound only: 9brains connects to your systems, your network is not reachable from the outside
• Encryption: WireGuard with state-of-the-art cryptography
• Tenant isolation: Every workspace has its own tunnel and key pair
• Least privilege: Only the explicitly configured services are reachable

How to set it up

1. Open Settings → On-premises connector
2. Create a tunnel (name, endpoint, peer public key of your firewall)
3. Enter the displayed public key as a peer in your firewall
4. Add services (e.g. database at 192.168.10.5:5432)
5. Set up a matching integration or skill that uses the service

A detailed guide is available under On-premises connector.

Availability

The on-premises connector is available from the Business license onward and can be configured by workspace administrators.
