A private network gives a group of SIM cards static IP addresses on a gateway dedicated to your account, with no infrastructure shared between customers. You choose a POP and a connector, and Simbase sends you a ready-to-use configuration.
What's in here
Private networks and WireGuard setup, the new dedicated-gateway architecture, why WireGuard replaces OpenVPN, step-by-step WireGuard setup, and how to migrate an existing private network.
IPsec, set up a two-way IPsec tunnel to your dedicated gateway, or migrate an existing tunnel from the old platform.
