9 Best Business VPN Services of 2026

NordLayer is the most complete self-serve business VPN on this list for an IT team that wants a traditional VPN with central control. The Lite plan at $8 per user per month, billed yearly, gives staff encrypted access through shared gateways in more than 40 countries, plus malware and web protection and session duration controls. The plans that matter for securing company resources are Core at $11 and Premium at $14. Core adds virtual private gateways with a dedicated IP, IP allowlisting and split tunneling, with device posture checks as an add-on. Premium includes a cloud firewall for network segmentation and device posture security that blocks non-compliant laptops. Both plans require a server with a dedicated IP at $40 per month, so a 10-person team on Core pays about $150 a month. Identity integrations cover Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin, JumpCloud and Google Workspace, and each license works on up to 6 devices. The 5-seat minimum and 14-day refund window are the main limits for small teams.

Proton VPN for Business is the easiest recommendation for a small company that wants a managed VPN without a five-seat minimum. VPN Essentials costs $6.99 per user per month on yearly billing, with a 2-user minimum, so two people pay $167.76 for the year. That plan covers servers across more than 140 countries, NetShield blocking of malware, phishing and ads, central user management, enforced 2FA, a kill switch, always-on VPN, split tunneling and MDM deployment. For an IT manager, VPN Professional at $9.99 is the plan to compare with NordLayer Core: it adds SSO and SCIM provisioning, dedicated IPs and private gateways in more than 20 countries, network segmentation and audit trails. The catch is that the dedicated IP price is left as a placeholder on the pricing page, so you need a quote. The VPN and Pass Professional bundle at $10.99 adds Proton Pass for shared credentials.

Tailscale replaces a central VPN server with a mesh network: each laptop, server and cloud instance joins the same private network, and access control lists decide who reaches what. That model suits companies whose remote staff mostly need servers, databases and internal tools rather than a single office LAN. The Personal plan is free for up to 6 users, which is enough to test a rollout. Standard at $8 per user per month adds unlimited users, SCIM provisioning, up to 10 ACL groups, MDM configuration and device posture integrations with MDM, EDR and XDR tools. Premium at $18 adds just-in-time access, network flow logs, log streaming and regional routing, which many compliance teams will want. Billing is monthly per seat with no hard seat limit. The trade-off is setup: tags, ACL policy files and exit nodes reward admins comfortable with networking, so it is less turnkey than NordLayer or ExpressVPN for Teams.

Twingate is a zero trust access service rather than a traditional tunnel to the whole network: admins publish individual resources, such as a database or an internal app, and decide who may reach each one. For an IT manager retiring an old VPN appliance, that limits the damage a stolen laptop can do. The Starter plan is free for up to 5 users and 50 resources and already includes peer-to-peer connections, split tunneling and conditional access. Teams at $5 per user per month, billed yearly, raises the cap to 100 users and adds SSO through Google Workspace, SaaS application gating and native device posture checks. Business at $10 adds Okta and Entra ID sign-in, user provisioning through your identity provider, endpoint integrations, service accounts and just-in-time access, for up to 500 users. Static IPs and DNS filtering are add-ons, so a team that needs a fixed egress IP should price those in before choosing.

GoodAccess targets the most common small business VPN request: give remote staff one fixed IP address that SaaS tools, client portals and firewalls can allowlist. The Essential plan costs $7 per user per month on yearly billing, or $9 monthly, with a 5-user minimum, and each gateway comes with a static IP dedicated to your organization. You choose from more than 35 cloud gateway locations, and extra gateways for high availability cost $49 per month. Each user can connect up to three devices, and apps cover Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and ChromeOS. One connector for an office LAN or cloud network is included, with more at $29 per month. Premium at $11 adds the vendor's full zero trust architecture for multi-site and cloud businesses. GoodAccess is a smaller brand than NordLayer, and its add-on pricing means multi-site setups grow in cost quickly, so price the gateways and connectors you need.

ExpressVPN for Teams takes the consumer ExpressVPN service and adds an admin dashboard where an office manager can buy licenses, assign them by email and reassign them when people leave. Staff install the normal app on their work device, enter a license key and connect to servers in 113 countries and all 50 U.S. states. Pricing is the lowest on this list: $3.05 per user per month on a 2-year plan, which is $366.00 for 5 licenses, $4.68 on a 12-month plan or $9.74 month to month, with a 5-license minimum and a 30-day money-back guarantee. A dedicated IP for Teams costs $390 per year per location. The trade-off is depth. The product pages describe encryption, ad and tracker blocking and license management, but not SSO, SCIM, device posture or network segmentation, so it encrypts traffic rather than controlling access to internal systems. That suits a team that needs privacy on public Wi-Fi.

CloudConnexa is the hosted version of OpenVPN for companies that want a managed service instead of running their own VPN server. The Starter plan includes 5 seats free, and every plan comes with granular access policies, DNS filtering, IDS/IPS and a global private network with connectors for offices and cloud environments. Essential costs $7 per seat per month on yearly billing and adds LDAP and SAML sign-in, IPsec protocol support, log streaming to a SIEM, a public API and 24/7 priority support. Premium at $9.50 adds SCIM and more authentication methods and higher limits. The pricing page lists SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, HIPAA and ISO 27001, which helps in vendor reviews. Teams that prefer to host it themselves can use OpenVPN Access Server, which is free for up to 2 connections. The admin console offers a lot of control, but connectors, routing and network settings take more networking knowledge than the consumer-style business VPNs on this list.

Perimeter 81 is now sold as Check Point SASE, and the old perimeter81.com pricing address leads to the Check Point product page rather than a price table. The platform goes well beyond a VPN: zero trust network access to on-premises and cloud resources, including an agentless option, a secure web gateway, a cloud access security broker with AI-driven DLP, firewall as a service and an enterprise browser, all running over a private backbone with more than 85 points of presence. The vendor says more than 5,000 customers use it. That breadth makes it a strong candidate for a mid-size or larger company retiring VPN appliances and consolidating web security in one console. For a small team it is likely more than needed, and the absence of a published per-user price means you start with a demo or the TCO calculator. We scored value conservatively because we could not verify a price.

Surfshark for Teams sells the company's consumer security bundles to businesses on yearly per-user plans. Starter, from $5.90 per user per month, combines the VPN with Alternative ID. One, from $6.90, is pitched at all-round security for browsing, devices and identity, and One+, from $9.40, focuses on identity theft protection and recovery. The tools listed across the plans include CleanWeb ad blocking, Antivirus, Alert breach monitoring, identity theft coverage up to $1M and Incogni data removal, which is limited to some countries. The page says prices vary by user count and require a minimum of 5 licenses, and buying works through an offer form rather than instant checkout. For a small team without IT staff, getting a VPN and other security tools from one vendor is convenient, and support runs 24/7 by chat and email. For an IT manager, though, the teams page describes no SSO, dedicated gateways, device posture or access policies, so it does not control who reaches company systems the way NordLayer, Proton VPN Professional or Twingate do.
