Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

Unreliable VPN Clients

IT admins struggle with unreliable, hard-to-manage VPN clients that break connectivity, lack modern identity integration, and disrupt remote access.

In their words

I have to hard reboot the PC to get all my other VPNs working again.

r/fortinet on Reddit

we want to address a long held issue with our travelling guys about some hotels blocking the VPN.

r/fortinet on Reddit

Why on earth don't modern VPN clients have a built-in local HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy server with a quick QR code scanner to share the tunnel over Wi-Fi in one click?

r/dumbclub on Reddit

I wish they made it so the connector could be a Linux VM or container.

r/sysadmin on Reddit

Unless users can choose whether to connect to their home network or the data center network, it's not very practical.

r/DeeperNetwork on Reddit

why not let the user rename it and safe that mapping?

r/dns on Reddit

And yes there is IDRAC, but over a VPN that is run by said server.

r/sysadmin on Reddit

Contractors come in over the same VPN as staff and once they're on, they're basically on the flat network with a couple firewall rules pretending to be segmentation

r/ITManagers on Reddit

Everyone hits our VPN at head office before they reach AWS and it's killing performance

r/aws on Reddit

is there actually a way to block said services, without simply blocking the account and manually remediate. Seems a bit clunky.

r/msp on Reddit

Wie habt ihr das ganze gelöst? Natürlich ist die VPN Verbindung eine Domain Network Strecke, das ganze manuell auf Private Profil zu setzen ist auch nur eine Krücke.

r/de_EDV on Reddit

remote users bypassing protections, multiple policy sets depending on location, and way too much effort just to keep aging hardware and licenses aligned

r/ciso on Reddit

we were running into too many random issues with NAT with our standard DIY Wireguard setup, especially when people were working from hotels

Hacker News

the constant dance of dropping one connection to reach another has caught me out more times than I can count.

IT and network admins

Where they talk

  • r/sysadmin
  • r/fortinet
  • r/networking
  • r/meraki
  • r/AZURE
  • r/selfhosted
  • r/Intune
  • r/msp

Tools they use today

  • FortiClient
  • FortiGate
  • Tailscale
  • Cloudflare
  • Microsoft Intune
  • Fortinet
  • Meraki
  • OpenVPN

Why those fall short

  • iDRAC reachable only through the VPN running on the failed server; no out-of-band path
  • workarounds break SNI, need per-DC setup, and tickets keep coming
  • resolvers send .local to mDNS instead of unicast DNS
  • agent leaves 127.0.0.2 DNS setting, updates fail tenant-wide
  • IPsec unreliable, minor version mismatches break projects, EMS doesn't fix it
