Introduction
We don’t need to use scare tactics to get you to buy our services. We offer real value, privacy, security, and performance. That’s enough to maintain our loyal following.
Relay Service
Relay service allows all machines in a network to connect regardless of whether they are behind a NAT, double NAT, carrier-grade NAT, or on the road. All traffic for the network’s subnet is then relayed through this secure service endpoint. In general, pick a location geographically close to you when selecting a location for a relay. By default the Relay service is a split tunnel, so only packets directed toward your private subnet are routed through the relay. Relay service also supports subnet routing, allowing you to access your entire network.
Relay service is a “pull” architecture, which has distinct advantages. It allows it to operate when other methods fail. For example, this can provide “unblockable” SSH and remote access to your systems. If your systems are under a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack, then you’ll find this service invaluable as it allows you to maintain access to those systems even when direct connections fail. It is a great choice for providing a backdoor to your critical systems when things go wrong.
Tunnel Service
Tunnel Service, also known as a VPN gateway, provides an endpoint in the specified region. The network is configured to direct all traffic through this endpoint, masking your true location and giving you the appearance of being in the given region. It is one of the core features users expect from a VPN service. And it’s more than about accessing regional content; it gives you a completely different perspective.
Multi-hop Tunnel Service
We have significantly increased our security and anonymity posture with the addition of a multi-hop tunnel service. This service provides you with entrance and exit points on our network. For example, you can ingress your traffic in Paris, France, and egress, or exit the traffic, at any of our other locations, such as Tokyo Japan. This in combination with payment in crypto takes it to the next level.
Performance
Not to brag, but our performance cannot be beaten. In-region transfer rates of over 100 Mbps are normal. What does that mean? Our superior design gives us an advantage. It is one of the reasons we decided to offer this service. You will find that you can stream content at the highest resolution (4K+) with no issues. Free VMs with cloud providers often come with severe restrictions on bandwidth, making our tunnel services the right choice when performance and privacy matter.
DNS Service
For tunnel service to work properly it is necessary to use a global DNS provider. We let you choose from the following providers:
- Google DNS
- Cloudflare DNS
- OpenDNS by Cisco
- Quad9 DNS (privacy)
You can also create a network and specify any DNS servers you’d like, but be aware that some DNS servers you think are global providers are not. For example, your ISP’s DNS servers will not respond to queries from Amsterdam.
Pricing
Service is $5/month for a single relay or tunnel when billed monthly. Get two months free with a yearly purchase! You can also purchase services using cryptocurrencies. Switch between locations as often as desired. Other plans offer more tunnels, users, and devices based on your needs. Multi-hop tunnel service requires a Premium or Professional subscription.
Locations
These are just our first ten fifteen twenty locations, and we’re just getting started. Email Nettica Support and we’ll do our best to provide you with a nearby location. These locations allow ping times of less than 50ms to a majority of the global population.
Architecture
After purchase, you manage your service through the Nettica Admin. With Nettica’s Relay and Tunnel service, subscribers get a container in the specified region exclusively for forwarding their traffic. Users can share that connection through their network. For example, a basic Relay user can invite others in their account to share the connection. A premium user can invite an additional five users and create relay or tunnel services in up to five locations.
We use the Nettica Agent for managing the service hosts. They poll for their configuration regularly, making it both scalable and easy to manage.
Relay Service
So easy to use even a parent can figure it out. Tunnel Service routes all traffic through the service endpoint privately and securely, while Relay Service allows secure connections regardless of network configuration challenges.
