Server Provisioning
Your dedicated VPN server is deployed automatically in the region you choose. No installation, no configuration, no server administration.
Managed VPN Service
PrivyNet is a managed VPN service built on dedicated infrastructure. We deploy your VPN server, keep it patched, renew its certificates, and monitor its health. Your team manages who can connect, and nothing else. Unlike renting a VPS and maintaining a VPN yourself, there is no server administration, and unlike per-seat business VPN platforms, you pay for the infrastructure by the hour rather than for every user you add.
What Our Managed VPN Service Handles for You
The operational work of running VPN infrastructure, done for you
Patching & Image Upgrades
We keep the underlying server images patched and upgraded. Security maintenance is our responsibility, not another item on your IT backlog.
Certificate Management
TLS certificates are issued and renewed automatically. Expired certificates never take your VPN offline.
IP Changes on Demand
Need a fresh IP address? Request a change from the dashboard and we handle the reassignment. No server rebuild required.
Node Status Monitoring
Every managed VPN server reports its status continuously, so problems are visible and addressed without you running your own monitoring.
Global Regions
Deploy your managed VPN server in any of 50+ regions worldwide and move it when your needs change.
What Stays in Your Control
Managed infrastructure does not mean giving up ownership
Users & Access Grants
You decide exactly who can connect. Access is granted per user and there is no implicit trust.
Instant Revocation
Revoke any user in seconds. The active session ends immediately and the credential cannot be reused.
Start, Stop, Restart
Control the server lifecycle from the dashboard. Stop the server when it is not needed and stop paying for it.
Automatic Schedules
Schedule your VPN to run only during working hours so you never pay for idle overnight infrastructure.
Access Logs
Full session logs, exportable for compliance reviews. You always know who connected, when, and for how long.
Managed VPN Service vs a VPS With a VPN Script
The common alternative is renting a VPS and running a VPN yourself. Here is what that actually costs you.
| PrivyNet Managed VPN | VPS + VPN Script | |
|---|---|---|
| Initial setup | Deployed for you in minutes | Manual install and configuration |
| Security patching | Handled by PrivyNet | Your responsibility |
| Certificate renewal | Automatic | Manual or scripted by you |
| Changing your IP | One request from the dashboard | Rebuild or re-provision the server |
| Access control | Per-user grants with instant revoke | Shared configs edited by hand |
| Billing | Pay per hour the server runs | Fixed monthly fee even when idle |
A managed VPN service is not just convenience: unpatched, forgotten VPN servers are a common breach entry point. With PrivyNet, network access is £4.99 per month and your managed server runs from £0.04 per hour. See the full pricing breakdown for details.

Managed VPN Questions, Answered
Common questions about managed VPN services and outsourced VPN management
What is a managed VPN service?
A managed VPN service gives your organisation dedicated VPN infrastructure without the burden of running it. The provider deploys the server, keeps it patched, renews certificates, and monitors its health, while your team simply manages who can connect. PrivyNet provides this as single-tenant infrastructure: the managed server and its static IP belong to your organisation alone.
What does PrivyNet manage for us?
PrivyNet handles the full infrastructure lifecycle: server provisioning, security patching and image upgrades, TLS certificate issuance and renewal, IP reassignment on request, and continuous node status monitoring. Your team keeps control of users, access grants, session revocation, schedules, and the server power state.
Can we outsource VPN management to PrivyNet?
Yes. That is exactly what the service is. If your team currently maintains its own VPN server, or you are considering building one on a VPS, PrivyNet replaces that operational work with managed infrastructure while leaving you in full control of access.
Is a managed VPN suitable for SMEs and small teams?
Yes. Managed VPN services are often priced per user, which penalises growing teams. PrivyNet charges for the infrastructure itself, so an SME gets the same managed, dedicated server as a large organisation, starting from £0.04 per hour, with no per-seat licences.
How much does a managed VPN service cost?
Network access is £4.99 per month, and your managed dedicated server is billed by the hour from £0.04 per hour while it runs. Stop the server and the hourly cost stops with it. There are no long-term contracts and no per-user fees.
How is this different from running a VPN on our own VPS?
A VPS with a VPN script gives you a server, then leaves you to install, patch, renew certificates, manage users by editing configs, and pay a fixed monthly fee whether it is used or not. A managed VPN service does all of that operational work for you, adds per-user access control with instant revocation and full session logs, and bills only for the hours the server actually runs.
No infrastructure is deployed and no charges occur until you explicitly start a VPN instance.
