VPN & Site-to-Site Connectivity
We build VPN connectivity so branch sites operate as one network and remote users work securely. We define who reaches what, instead of granting access to the entire network, and hand over a register so access can be withdrawn the moment it is no longer needed by a person or a site.
Who it is for
- Businesses with two or more locations
- Companies with ERP or files centralised and users elsewhere
- Organisations with permanent or periodic remote working
- Sites where remote access is currently provided by open ports
When we are NOT the right choice
- If unrestricted access with no rights model is expected
- If provider circuits are inadequate and no upgrade is planned
- If there is no administrative control of the endpoint equipment
PROCESS
The process
Indicative times from signature of the proposal, subject to hardware availability. Every project is shaped to the size and the needs of the client.
01Access requirements inventory
We record which applications and data must be reachable, by whom, and from where. This defines the solution rather than the other way round.Time: 2-5 working daysDeliverable: A table of who needs what
02Topology and rights design
We design site addressing so ranges do not collide, and define rights per user group rather than per individual request.Time: Alongside the studyDeliverable: Addressing and policy design
03Link implementation
We implement with IPsec or WireGuard depending on the equipment, with automatic reconnection and state monitoring.Time: 1-3 days per siteDeliverable: Live link with automatic reconnection
04User access and testing
We configure remote user access, test the real applications rather than connectivity alone, and hand over written instructions.Time: During implementationDeliverable: Written connection instructions per user
05Handover and management
We hand over a register of who has access to what, and the procedure for withdrawing it when someone leaves.Time: On completionDeliverable: Access register and withdrawal procedure

From practice
Remote access usually starts as an exception: one user, one open port, one temporary arrangement. Two years later nobody knows how many people have access or to what, nor which of those accounts belong to people who have left.
The value of a VPN is not only encryption. It is that access becomes recorded and revocable. That is why we always hand over the register alongside the link itself.
Prerequisites
- Stable internet connectivity at each site
- Administrative control of endpoint equipment
- A list of users and groups with their requirements
- A work window for routing changes
Cost
Implementation is quoted per interconnected site, with equipment and labour itemised. Ongoing management, monitoring and user changes sit within the support agreement at a monthly charge.
We do not publish a price list. Every proposal follows a site survey and separates hardware from labour.
What moves the cost
- Number of sites to interconnect
- Number of remote users
- Whether new endpoint equipment is required
- Complexity of the rights model per group
