The Consumer VPN Market
NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark — these are excellent products for individuals who want to stream geo-restricted content or add a layer of privacy to their browsing. But they weren't designed for organisations.
Where Consumer VPNs Fall Short for Business
No Team Management
Consumer VPNs give you individual accounts. Managing 50 employees means 50 separate subscriptions, 50 separate logins, and zero visibility into who's connected.
No Routing Control
You get a server list and a connect button. You can't define routing policies, restrict team members to specific regions, or split traffic between business and personal.
No Centralised Billing
50 users = 50 invoices. Good luck with that expense report.
Limited Censorship Resistance
Consumer VPNs rely on protocol diversity at the individual level. When China blocks NordVPN's servers, individual users are stuck. VynVPN's multi-protocol engine with automatic failover keeps entire teams connected.

The Price Comparison
Consumer VPNs charge $3–12/user/month with limited features. Enterprise VPNs (Cisco AnyConnect, Palo Alto GlobalProtect) cost $50–200/user/month plus infrastructure.
VynVPN sits in the middle: $1.99–3.99/user/month with business features, zero infrastructure requirements, and setup in minutes not months.
Who Should Use What
Use a consumer VPN if: You're an individual wanting streaming access and basic privacy.
Use VynVPN if: You're managing a team that needs encrypted connectivity with visibility, control, and compliance documentation.
Use enterprise VPN if: You need to route traffic into a corporate network (site-to-site), not just encrypt internet access.
