Kalitka Puts a Human Decision in Front of Sensitive Access

Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source, self-hosted gateway adds temporary human approval before users reach web applications or SSH sessions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-11 issue.

Field notes

Kalitka preserves an application's existing login while inserting a separate approval gate in front of it. The documented request records the requester, target resource, source address, and country, then issues a grant tied to that request; reverse proxies pass traffic only while the grant remains approved and unexpired. Telegram, email, and a web control plane provide approval channels. SSH access uses PAM and is explicitly labeled experimental.
