Speedify vs Enterprise VPN Comparison
This article explains the difference between a Corporate VPN (Virtual Private Network) and an Internet VPN, so you can decide which tool is right for your situation.
Two Types of VPNs
Not all VPNs do the same thing. Before comparing Speedify to a Corporate VPN, it helps to understand what each type is actually built for.
Corporate VPN
A Corporate VPN, also called a Business VPN or Company VPN, lets employees remotely connect to an office network as if they were physically present. It's built to protect company resources and restrict access to people within the organization. Universities and government institutions commonly use this same model for their staff and students.
Key characteristics of a Corporate VPN:
- Provides access to files, tools, and resources on a private company intranet
- Restricts access to authorized users only
- May monitor, filter, or log employee or student internet activity
- Managed and maintained by an IT department
Internet VPN
An Internet VPN focuses on securing your connection to the Internet itself. It encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server in the cloud, so that devices on your local network or your ISP (Internet Service Provider) can't see what you're doing online.
Common reasons to use an Internet VPN:
- Protecting yourself on public or unsecured Wi-Fi networks
- Preventing your ISP or local network administrator from seeing your browsing activity
- Accessing content that isn't available in your region by connecting to servers in other countries
Where Speedify Fits In
Speedify is an Internet VPN. It encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through Speedify's Servers, keeping your connection private and secure. Speedify also lets you access websites or services that aren't available in your region.
What sets Speedify apart from other Internet VPNs is channel bonding: Speedify can combine multiple internet connections at the same time, such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Satellite, and a 4G/5G cellular connections, to give you faster upload and download speeds and a more reliable connection.
Speedify is not a Corporate VPN. It doesn't connect you to a private company intranet or replace the remote access tools your IT department manages. However, companies and businesses can use Speedify as a tool for remote workers to get faster, more stable internet while working from home or in the field.
