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.
