# Hardpoint Connect Hardpoint Connect is the secure networking layer for Vercel developers. It lets you safely and easily connect your private services to your Vercel projects, without exposing them to the internet. Hardpoint Connect is integrated using 2 components: * The SDK, a lightweight JS library which drops into your Vercel project code * The agent, a standalone daemon running inside your network perimeter, which establishes a secure outbound connection --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
