## What happened?

I want to test Pomerium Enterprise locally in a fully isolated lab environment on my PC, without any public IP addresses. My goal is to evaluate FleetDM Device Identity, PPL policies, and the advanced integration between FleetDM and Pomerium. I am unsure if this is possible and how to set it up properly.

## What did you expect to happen?

I expected to be able to deploy Pomerium Enterprise in my local lab, access Enterprise features, and integrate it with my local FleetDM instance without requiring public IPs or external access.

## How’d it happen?

I currently have Pomerium Core and FleetDM running locally. I have not yet tried the Enterprise version because I don’t have a trial license or access to the Enterprise Docker image. I am looking for guidance on the process, including obtaining a trial, upgrading Core to Enterprise, and configuring the integration with FleetDM locally.

## What’s your environment like?

Pomerium version: Pomerium Core (latest stable local version)  
Server OS/Architecture: Linux (Ubuntu 22.04), x86\_64  
Cluster: local Docker/K3s cluster  
Network: fully local, no public IP

## What’s your config.yaml?

```auto
I am currently using Pomerium Core with default local configuration. I have not modified secrets or sensitive values. I can provide a scrubbed version if necessary.

```

## What did you see in the logs?

```logs

```

## Additional context

I would like to know if it is possible to:

- Run Pomerium Enterprise fully locally without public IPs,

- Obtain a trial license and access the Enterprise Docker image,

- Upgrade from Pomerium Core to Enterprise without losing my existing configuration,

- Integrate Pomerium Enterprise with FleetDM for Device Identity and PPL policies.

Any guidance, best practices, or official documentation for achieving this setup in a local lab environment would be highly appreciated.

Yes, this should be possible. Pomerium Enterprise can be fully self-hosted, and does not require a public IP address. Please contact sales for a license key for evaluation purposes: [Contact | Pomerium](https://www.pomerium.com/contact).
