      • Prevent threats while browsing on the internet.
      • Access geo-specific content (Q&A/marketing).
      • Ensure IP address masking.

      • Ensure that employees are connected to VPN at all times.

      So, take the Core plan if you need:

      • Allowlist specific cloud tools with fixed IP addresses.
      • Segment network access to hybrid-cloud resources by teams.
      • Restrict access to content categories or specific apps, ports, and protocols.

Compared to Lite and Core plans, this exclusive package includes Cloud Firewall (FWaaS), Device Posture Security, Browser Extension, and more, all with trusted reliability and 24/7 priority support.

      In a nutshell, the Premium plan is ideal for those who require to:

      • Do more granular network segmentation than by Teams.
      • Establish a connection between remote devices.
      • Establish remote connection to on-site networks.
      • Restrict access to the network for non-compliant devices.
      • Launch NordLayer on a browser level only.

      Custom plan

      Note regarding remote work:

      If you need to access your work resources remotely, ensure that they are accessible through remote means. This can be achieved by either utilizing port-forwarding on your office router or leveraging cloud infrastructure. To enhance remote accessibility further, consider obtaining a dedicated server with a fixed IP address (mandatory from the Core plan). This will enable you to allowlist (whitelist) the specific IP address, granting access to everything necessary for you and your team to work effectively and efficiently.
