VPN With No Speed Loss

Virtual private networks (VPNs) are indispensable to businesses. They link remote office branches to the main corporate network, they allow roaming employees to use internal company applications and enable cloud servers to be part of the same network as on-premises ones.

Data breaches are increasing, cybercriminals are more sophisticated, and compromised data is rising fast. Most companies remain unprepared despite growing threats. Businesses must act now, implementing strong cybersecurity measures before a breach occurs.

Most VPN solutions that exist today were designed a long time ago, so they’re quite slow and are overly engineered. Enter WireGuard, a project that puts security and simplicity first. WireGuard is a fast VPN, simple and highly secure. With WireGuard there is no noticeable change in speed when using it. It’s a no compromise solution with both speed and security.

The Many Uses Of A VPN

There are a few modes of usage with Wireguard. It can be used to access a local network from devices to access a single service on a server over secure remote connection. It can be setup on a remote cloud server for secure browsing. we can also setup site 2 site and mesh networking. This can be great if you have multiple locations needing to access each other. This can make 2 physical locations networks one.

1. Remote Access

Your office network connects printers, IT resources, and data while keeping your team secure. But remote employees can’t log in directly. A remote access VPN solves this by allowing them to connect securely from anywhere with internet access. This ensures they access necessary resources while keeping business data protected.

2. Access Control

Access control determines who can access what. Without it, the right people may lack access, or the wrong people may have too much. Systems like VPNs authenticate and authorize users by verifying credentials and assigning access levels. Our VPN, Access Server, provides precise access control to ensure secure and efficient operations.

3. Cybersecurity

A VPN secures your business data by strengthening network security. Any internet-connected device can join a private network through a VPN. Devices range from consumer cameras to industrial sensors and operational tools. Using a VPN for cybersecurity helps establish secure communications and prevents attacks that target sensitive business data.

4. Site To Site Connections

A site-to-site VPN securely connects multiple networks, like a corporate network and branch offices. Organizations use it to transmit private data online, reducing costs compared to private MPLS circuits. Companies with multiple offices benefit from continuous corporate network access through site-to-site VPNs.

5. Mesh Networks

Mesh VPNs use a peer-to-peer architecture where every node or peer in the network can connect directly to any other peer without going through a central concentrator or gateway. This approach can be less expensive and easier to scale than a traditional VPN.

Mesh VPNs are not a new concept, but it has taken a long time for them to mature and expand beyond a niche use. Until a few years ago the VPN needs of most organizations were perfectly met through a traditional hub-and-spoke architecture. Most corporate firewalls and gateway security products include VPN functionality and that was convenient for most companies who only had a few employees working remotely.

The move to hybrid cloud-based infrastructure and the growing remote workforce has finally put mesh networking solutions on the map. This started with the need to connect VMs and nodes running in different clouds, a technology commonly referred to as a “service mesh,” and now is expanding to connect traditional endpoints such as laptops and mobile phones.

What You Need

For a cloud VPN it can easily be setup on a low-cost VPS, they can start at $5/mo sometimes as low as $30/yr. For site 2 site and accessing your local LAN an old workstation can be converted into a server or refurbished ones bought for under $200.
