FEATURES
Gateway network
Starter is a free business VPN that creates a secure VPN infrastructure for your virtual organization. Every time a user connects, GoodAccess automatically seeks out the nearest gateway location with the lowest latency and assigns an IP address dynamically. This enables secure private browsing and encrypted remote access to IT resources for your coworkers, even if they connect through public Wi-Fi.
Threat protection
Starter comes equipped with Threat Blocker, an always-on feature that stops phishing, malware, botnets, ransomware ploys and other online security threats before they hit the user and breach your network. Learn more about GoodAccess Threat Blocker.

vpn gateway guide
A VPN gateway is a dedicated VPN cloud server that functions as a hub connecting users and company resources within a private network. Each connection is encapsulated in an encrypted tunnel to protect the transmitted data from interception. A VPN gateway is typically cloud-based; a hardware equivalent is usually called a VPN concentrator.
The gateway also houses additional features, such as IP address assignment, user authentication, or blocking communications with blacklisted domains (DNS filtering). Unlike a shared VPN server, each dedicated VPN server can have a unique static IP address, which can be used for multiple other purposes, such as IP whitelisting.
A VPN gateway is a VPN server that resides in the cloud and creates a secure VPN infrastructure. Just like a legacy hardware VPN server, it establishes secure encrypted connections to protect data from web-based threats during transmission.
A cloud VPN server, or VPN gateway, offers multiple benefits over its hardware counterpart, namely greater scalability and reliability, higher security, and global availability.
A VPN is a necessary component for effective work-from-home enablement. It provides secure and private connections between local or cloud systems and users regardless of their location, which significantly reduces the risk of data compromise to online threats without hampering user experience.
1. Sign up for a free trial. It usually takes several hours to approve your trial.
2. Log into your Control Panel.
3. Fill in your team name and choose your VPN gateway location. For lower latency, it’s best to choose a gateway nearest to your geographical location.
4. Click Get started.
5. In the control panel, you can then invite your team members and connect your resources.
Shared VPN servers are available to multiple users at once. Users get automatically connected to the nearest VPN server to keep latency low, but they don’t get to choose their own. This means the server’s address can change and cannot be used for advanced networking use cases like IP whitelisting.
Shared VPN servers are useful for smaller teams that require private remote connections and low latency, but don’t need advanced features.
On the other hand, when you have a dedicated VPN server, it is your own to use and you choose which one to connect to (if you have more). This means the server can also handle advanced functionalities like access control and DNS filtering because it is dedicated for your use only. Typically a dedicated VPN server will have a static IP address as well.
Traditionally, there have been two basic types of VPN: a site-to-site VPN and point-to-site VPN. Site-to-site connects two local networks, while point-to-site provides secure access to local/cloud resources to remote users.
However, the distinction is becoming blurred, as many VPNs provide both types, and are outfitted with additional features, shifting them more towards the software-defined perimeter (SDP) or zero-trust network access (ZTNA).
