The Classic VPN Service will be shutdown in EU-DE in two Steps:
- As of March 1, 2025, the service will no longer be available for new customers. For existing customers the Service will remain usable until the final shutdown.
- The final shutdown is scheduled for June 1, 2025.
Customers using this service must migrate to our new Enterprise VPN by June 1, 2025.
Our EU-NL Region ist not affected by this EOL.
What is the successor to Classic VPN?
Our successor product for the Classic VPN is the Enterprise VPN.
The Enterprise VPN offers various advantages for our customers.
In addition to increased stability, the compatibility with our Enterprise Router is particularly attractive, enabling our customers to simplify their network management significantly.
The Enterprise VPN Service is available in three different flavors:
- Basic
- Professional 1
- Professional 2
These versions differ in speed, functionality, and price.
More detailed information on the differences between the versions can be found in our Helpcenter.
Pricing Differences
Previously, our customers had to pay for each Classic VPN connection individually. This is no longer the case with our Enterprise VPN Service.
Here, customers only pay for the VPN Gateway and an associated EIP.
Up to 10 VPN connections are included in the price.
As a result, the base cost of an individual connection is higher with the Enterprise VPN compared to the Classic VPN.
However, the more VPN connections a customer has, the more cost-effective the Enterprise VPN Service becomes.
A break-even point with the Classic VPN is reached with the Basic flavor after just three VPN connections, making it significantly cheaper thereafter.
How does this affect our existing customers?
- If a customer uses the Classic VPN in EU-DE, migration to the new Enterprise VPN Service is required by June 1, 2025.
- A detailed guide on how to perform the migration will soon be available on our Community Portal
- The migration may result in a brief service interruption, typically lasting only a few minutes.
