Corporate VPN: Why Public Services Are Dangerous
Are your employees working remotely via a free VPN? Consider your trade secrets gone. In 2026, data is the new oil, and you are spilling it on the street.
The Illusion of Security
Public VPN services monetize not through subscriptions, but by selling your data. Browsing history, logins, unencrypted traffic — it's all merchandise.
Risks of Public VPNs:
- Data Leaks: The VPN owner sees all your traffic.
- Shared IP: If your VPN neighbor does something illegal, you get blocked too (IP ban).
- Slow Speed: Channels are overloaded with thousands of users.
The Solution: Private Corporate VPN
Turnkey VPN service creation for your company closes all these loopholes. You get full control.
Private VPN Benefits:
- Dedicated IP: No "neighbors". This address belongs only to you. Ideal for accessing admin panels and banks.
- Military-grade Encryption: WireGuard or OpenVPN with your keys. No one, not even the provider, can decrypt the traffic.
- Access Control: You decide who has access and when. Fired an employee? Revoke their key in 1 second.
DDoS Protection
A corporate VPN can act as a shield. By hiding your servers' real IP addresses behind a VPN gateway, you provide basic DDos protection. Attackers hit the gateway, which is easy to scale or replace, while the backend remains safe.
NineLab Advice: Saving on VPN today will result in millions in losses from data leaks tomorrow. Your own VPN is the hygiene minimum for modern business.
