Twingate review

Twingate ranks first because it does the core job of a business VPN, getting staff to internal apps, with less setup and a clearer price than most rivals. You install a Connector inside each private network, define Resources by address or DNS name, and users only reach the Resources their group allows, so a stolen laptop does not open the whole network. Connections run peer-to-peer where possible, with a relay network as fallback, and Connectors cluster for failover. The free Starter plan covers 5 users and 50 Resources, enough to pilot a real deployment. Teams costs $5 per user per month for up to 100 users with Google Workspace SSO and device posture checks. Business, at $10, raises the cap to 500 users and adds Okta and Entra ID provisioning, secure service accounts, just-in-time access and exit networks. The limits are real: 3 admins on Teams, and DNS filtering and static IPs cost extra. For a company replacing a VPN appliance, it is the easiest strong option here.
