VPNs, or Virtual Private Networks, are critical tools that can enhance your project’s and team’s security, privacy, and performance. We provide multiple VPN solutions that fall into 3 distinct buckets:
- Externally managed VPN Solutions
- Internally managed VPN Solutions
- Self-Hosted VPN Solutions
Each of these offers unique advantages tailored to different security needs and organizational cultures.
Externally Managed VPN Solutions: Seamless Security by Specialized Providers
Externally Managed VPN Solutions are services offered and maintained by third-party providers who specialize in VPNs. This arrangement means that you, as a client, utilize the VPN as a subscription service, enjoying the same high-end security as any of their other clients, though you give up some control and “personal” or “dedicated” treatment.
Implications and Advantages
The primary appeal of externally managed VPNs lies in their simplicity and expertise. Entrusting your VPN needs to single-issue specialists allows you to benefit from such solutions in the same way as all their other clients do:
- Ease of Deployment: Quick setup times and professional management eliminate the complexities associated with VPN configurations.
- Consistency and Reliability: Benefit from consistently updated security protocols and infrastructure, ensuring reliable protection against threats.
- Scalability: Fast and efficient scaling capabilities to accommodate your growing needs without any additional overhead on your part.
This solution is particularly advantageous for teams and individuals who prefer focusing on content rather than the intricacies of their own production infrastructure or workflows.

Self-Hosted VPN Solutions: Ultimate Control for Maximum Security
For organizations seeking the pinnacle of control and confidentiality, Self-Hosted VPN Solutions stand out. These can be either completely managed by your internal IT team, partnered with contracted IT services, or hybridized with management support from Terror Shield.
Implications and Advantages
Self-hosting your VPN ensures that your operations are insulated and gives you the fullest control over every aspect of the VPN environment.
- Supreme Privacy: By not sharing your infrastructure, you ensure that your organizational operations are completely private.
