WireGuard VPN for UK Teams & Servers

DevOps services · United Kingdom

WireGuard VPN for UK teams who need staff to reach internal tools securely, and for servers that need to talk to each other without exposing databases and admin panels on the public internet. We set up road-warrior access for your team, site-to-site links between offices and servers, and an internal mesh so east-west traffic never touches a public IP — with key rotation and audit logs from day one.

  • Staff access to internal tools over WireGuard
  • Internal server mesh, no admin panel on a public IP
  • Per-device keys with rotation and revocation
  • VPS 1–8 h/month; dedicated 5–10 h/month depending on plan; GPU 10 h/month
    Included hours
  • Frankfurt, in the EU
    Data centre
  • L3/L4 DDoS mitigation included at the edge
    Network protection
  • EUR invoicing, 20% UK VAT itemised

Three things WireGuard fixes

First, road-warrior access: your team reaches internal admin tools, dashboards and staging environments over an encrypted tunnel instead of a public login page. Second, site-to-site: your office network and your servers talk securely without a leased line. Third — and the one most teams underestimate — an internal VPN mesh between servers, so database connections, cache traffic and admin panels move over an encrypted private network and are never reachable from the public internet at all.

  • Road-warrior WireGuard access for staff, per device
  • Site-to-site tunnels between offices and servers
  • Internal server mesh for east-west traffic — DB, cache, queues
  • MFA required for access, on top of the WireGuard key

Best practices we apply

A VPN that's badly managed is worse than no VPN, because it creates a false sense of security around services that are still, in practice, reachable. We apply the same operational discipline on every WireGuard deployment, so the tunnel is actually the only door in, not one door among several. We check this periodically as part of the included hours, not only when the VPN is first switched on.

  • Admin services — SSH, databases, panels — reachable only over VPN
  • Per-device keys, with clean rotation and revocation on offboarding
  • Split tunnel by default, so only internal traffic uses the VPN
  • A bastion or jump host in front of anything sensitive
  • Access logged, so who connected and when is always answerable

Why the internal mesh matters most

Road-warrior VPN access gets the attention, but the internal server mesh is usually the bigger security win. Once your database, cache, message queue and admin panels only accept connections over an encrypted internal network, a public port scan of your infrastructure finds almost nothing — which is exactly the outcome UK GDPR and ICO guidance on appropriate technical measures are pointing towards, without needing to name WireGuard specifically.

How the included hours work

DevOps hours come with the plan: 1–8 hours a month on VPS tiers, 5–10 hours a month on dedicated servers depending on the plan, 10 hours a month on GPU servers. Use them for the initial VPN set-up, adding new team members' devices, or extending the internal mesh as you add servers. Request the work from the client panel under DevOps Services. Hours don't roll over, so most teams set up the mesh in one month and handle ongoing key management as part of routine monthly hours.

How we work

  1. Request the work from the panel

    You describe your current access set-up — VPN, direct SSH, or nothing — and which services need to move behind WireGuard.

  2. We scope the mesh and access model

    We design the internal server mesh and the staff access tunnel, confirming key rotation policy and who needs MFA.

  3. We deploy and lock down public access

    We set up WireGuard, issue per-device keys, and close public access to the services that now sit behind the VPN.

  4. We hand over the access documentation

    You receive the network diagram, the key rotation procedure, and the process for onboarding and offboarding devices.

Use cases

Remote-first agency across the UK

A distributed team with staff in different cities needs road-warrior VPN access to internal dashboards, replacing a public admin login that was one leaked password away from a breach.

Fintech with a microservices backend

A payments company moves database and message-queue traffic off public IPs entirely onto an internal WireGuard mesh, closing a gap flagged in a client's security questionnaire.

Healthcare-adjacent SaaS with strict access logging

A health-tech platform needs auditable, per-device VPN access with MFA to internal systems, to satisfy data-protection due diligence from NHS-adjacent customers.

Every subscription includes monthly DevOps, CyberSecurity and Programming hours: 1 h from the cPanel Advanced plan up, 1–8 h on VPS, 5–10 h on dedicated servers depending on the plan, and 10 h on GPU servers. Hours are requested from your client panel, don't roll over to the next month, and anything above the quota is accepted and billed separately.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is WireGuard and why not use OpenVPN?

    WireGuard is a modern VPN protocol built into the Linux kernel, with a much smaller codebase than OpenVPN and noticeably lower overhead and better throughput. It's become the default choice for both staff access and server-to-server tunnels for exactly those reasons.

  • How is an internal VPN different from staff remote access?

    Staff VPN access is about people reaching internal tools securely. An internal VPN mesh is about servers talking to each other — database connections, cache traffic, admin panels — over an encrypted private network instead of the public internet, closing off an entire class of exposure.

  • Should our database really never be on a public IP?

    No, and this is one of the most common findings we see in security reviews. A database reachable from the public internet is one credential leak away from a breach. With an internal VPN mesh, it's reachable only from servers already inside your private network.

  • How do you handle offboarding when someone leaves the team?

    Each person and device has its own WireGuard key, so revoking access on departure is immediate and doesn't require rotating a shared credential everyone else depends on. We document the offboarding step as part of the handover so your own team can run it too.

  • Does WireGuard replace our firewall, or work alongside it?

    Alongside it. WireGuard secures the tunnel itself; we still apply default-deny firewall rules and network segmentation on top, so a compromised VPN client doesn't get unrestricted access to everything on the internal network.

  • Can you set this up between our office and our servers?

    Yes — site-to-site WireGuard tunnels between an office network and your servers are one of the standard configurations we deploy, alongside road-warrior access for individual staff and the internal mesh between servers themselves.

Still exposing admin panels or a database on a public IP?

Tell us what's currently reachable from the internet and we'll design a WireGuard mesh that closes it off, using the hours already in your plan.
