Before you choose
Match the access model to your network
Review the access model and site-to-site networking fields together. They describe how a product handles user access and links between private networks.
Products such as Tailscale, NetBird, Cloudflare Access and OpenVPN CloudConnexa represent different approaches within this category.
Check identity and administration controls
SSO and SCIM support can matter when an organization manages accounts through an identity provider. Device posture adds a separate check for the condition of connecting devices.
Use the admin control level and audit logs fields to compare oversight and record-keeping options.
Compare free access and paid terms
Look for a free plan or a free trial when you need a way to evaluate a tool before paying. These are separate fields and do not mean the same thing.
The Paid from field and pricing notes show the starting terms published for an entry. ZeroTier lists a free plan and paid service from $18 per month, while FortiClient lists pricing on request and a free plan.
Confirm the platforms your team uses
The comparison covers Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and web access. Check the supported-platforms field against the devices and browsers your organization needs.
Platform availability differs across business VPN software, so confirm the relevant operating systems before choosing a product.
Consider open-source options
Open-source status is included as a comparison field. If code access or licensing matters to your organization, review that field alongside administration, platform and networking controls.
Questions
Which platforms does this business VPN list cover?
The comparison covers Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and web access. Support varies by product.
How can I compare free access options?
Use the Free plan and free-trial fields separately. A free plan provides an ongoing no-cost option, while a trial provides time-limited evaluation access.
Does the list include open-source business VPN software?
Yes. Open-source status is one of the comparison fields, so you can identify entries that publish software under an open-source model.
What identity controls are compared?
The list compares SSO and SCIM support, along with admin control level, device posture and audit logs.
Does the list show starting prices?
The comparison includes a Paid from field and pricing notes where provided. For example, ZeroTier lists paid service from $18 per month, while FortiClient says pricing is on request.
