Networks, properly configured
Firewalls • VPN • Wi-Fi • VLANs • Ubiquiti • MikroTik • pfSense • Tailscale
We configure and tidy up business networks: from IP addressing and VLAN segmentation to firewall rules and secure remote access. We supply dedicated hardware and provide on-site deployments for projects, followed by ongoing remote monitoring.
Hardware provisioning • On-site projects available • Continuous monitoring
Network configuration, end to end
From the firewall at the edge to the Wi-Fi your team connects to every day.
Firewalls & VPN
Firewall rule configuration and VPN setup for secure remote access to your office network.
Wi-Fi & Switches
Design and configuration of wireless access points and managed switches for your office.
VLANs & Segmentation
Splitting flat networks into isolated VLANs to separate staff, guest, VoIP, and IoT device traffic.
DNS, DHCP & Routing
Core network services configured and documented, so IP addressing and name resolution behave predictably.
Hardware Provisioning
We procure equipment (Ubiquiti, MikroTik, pfSense, OPNsense, and cloud-managed Cisco Meraki switches, access points, and MX firewalls), pre-configure it, and ship it. For larger projects, we provide on-site installation.
Tailscale Remote Access
Zero-trust style remote access with Tailscale: subnet routers to reach office networks, ACL rules for identity-based access, and single sign-on through Microsoft Entra ID.
How it works
Designing and maintaining network infrastructure.
Audit & Design
We assess your current infrastructure (if any) or design a new network from scratch, discussing the right hardware (e.g., Ubiquiti, MikroTik) for your bandwidth and security needs.
Hardware Deployment
We configure the procured hardware. We ship it as a plug-and-play solution, or for larger deployments, we install the equipment directly at your site.
Ongoing Monitoring
After deployment, we proactively monitor device uptime, apply security firmware patches, and adjust access rules remotely as your business evolves.
Tailored to your project scope
Network infrastructure costs are always discussed individually. We partner with clients under two predictable models, depending on whether you need a one-off upgrade or ongoing peace of mind.
Project-based Deployments
A fixed upfront fee for a specific project — e.g., router replacement, hardware procurement, and configuration for a new office. No hidden hourly costs.
Managed Services (MSP)
A flat monthly subscription covering proactive infrastructure monitoring, regular network device updates, and remote assistance for configuration issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you configure Wi-Fi and switches, or just firewalls?
Both. We configure firewalls and VPN access alongside Wi-Fi, switches, VLAN segmentation, and DNS/DHCP/routing, on Ubiquiti, MikroTik, pfSense, OPNsense, or Cisco Meraki.
Can you set up remote access to our office network?
Yes, using Tailscale: subnet routers to reach office networks, ACL rules for identity-based access, and single sign-on through Microsoft Entra ID.
Do you supply networking hardware?
Yes. We can procure the necessary equipment, pre-configure it, and ship it to you ready for plug-and-play. For larger infrastructure projects, we also provide on-site installation.
Do you run physical cabling?
No, we do not drill walls or run physical cable routes. We typically work with your existing office cabling or coordinate with local electricians, taking over from the wall ports to configure the hardware.
What happens if a router or switch fails?
Under our Managed Services, we monitor your devices proactively. If a hardware failure occurs, we diagnose it immediately, assist with the manufacturer's RMA process, and help implement replacement hardware.
