Pangolin provides secure, application-specific ingress to your applications through a network of points of presence. Users connect to the closest point of presence, which authenticates them and routes their requests through secure tunnels to your applications.

## How It Works
<Steps>
<Step title="User enters through point of presence">
DNS automatically routes users to the closest available regional point of presence (PoP). A PoP is always available because the control plane fails over between PoPs.
<Step title="User enters through node">
DNS automatically routes users to the closest available regional node. A node is always available because the control plane fails over between nodes.

<Step title="Authentication and authorization">
The point of presence verifies the user's identity, checks access permissions, and applies context aware rules such as IP and path based filters, geoblocking, and rate limiting.
