Private Network

One address your whole team works from

A private, encrypted network for your team, with a dedicated static IP address that belongs to you alone. Add that one address to the SSH and SFTP allow-lists on your servers, and everyone on the team reaches your estate from it — from the office, from home, from a hotel. It is access control for infrastructure, not an open door onto the internet.

What it is

Private Network gives your team an encrypted network with a static IP address reserved for your organisation. Every device you connect leaves that network from the same address, so the servers you administer see one consistent, known origin no matter where your people happen to be working.

It exists to solve a specific problem: teams that manage many sites end up either sharing credentials or maintaining allow-lists full of home broadband addresses that change without warning. One dedicated address replaces both, and it does not change when somebody moves house or opens a laptop in an airport.

What you get

A small product with a narrow, deliberate scope — team access to infrastructure you control.

A dedicated static IP address

The address is reserved for your organisation and not shared with other customers. What you allow-list is yours alone.

Allow-list once

Add the address to your servers' SSH and SFTP allow-lists a single time. Adding a colleague after that is a change on the network, not on every server.

Encrypted for the whole team

Traffic between each device and the network is encrypted, so administrative access does not depend on the café Wi-Fi somebody is using this week.

Works from anywhere

Office, home, coworking space or travelling — the source address your servers see is the same one every time, so nothing has to be re-approved.

Devices included, packs to add more

The subscription covers a set number of connected devices. When the team or the number of laptops and phones grows, add a device pack.

Scoped to your estate, on purpose

The network reaches the infrastructure you manage. It is not a general internet exit, and that boundary is a design decision rather than a limitation we are working around.

How it works

Three steps, and the middle one is done once rather than per person.

  1. Subscribe and get your address

    Your organisation is assigned a dedicated static IP address on its own private encrypted network.

  2. Allow-list it on your servers

    Add that single address to the SSH and SFTP allow-lists across your estate, and remove the scattered personal addresses you have been maintaining.

  3. Connect your team's devices

    Each person connects their devices to the network. From then on they reach your servers from the allow-listed address wherever they are working.

Pricing

A base monthly subscription that includes your dedicated static IP address and a set number of devices, plus optional device packs when you need more connections.

The base subscription covers the dedicated address and the included devices. Additional devices are bought in packs, so the cost follows the size of the team.

Why buy it here

Agencies and in-house teams managing dozens of sites usually hit the same wall: locking SSH down to known addresses is the right control, but nobody's home address stays still. A dedicated static address makes the right control practical, and it removes the temptation to leave administrative ports open to everyone.

We do not sell this as a way to browse the internet from somewhere else, because running open internet exits would put the reputation of our address space at risk — and our customers' sites depend on that reputation. Keeping the network scoped to your own estate protects every customer on the platform, including you.

Can I use this to browse the internet privately or watch region-locked services?

No, and we would rather say so plainly than sell you the wrong product. This is not a general internet exit; it reaches the infrastructure you manage. If you want a consumer privacy or streaming VPN, buy one of those instead.

Why isn't it a general-purpose VPN?

Because open internet exits attract abuse, and abuse damages the reputation of the address space our customers' sites are served from. Restricting the network to your own estate is a deliberate design choice that keeps that reputation clean for everyone, including the sites you run.

Is the IP address really mine alone?

Yes. The static address is dedicated to your organisation and not shared with other customers, which is what makes allow-listing it meaningful. If it were shared, allowing it would allow other people's traffic too.

How many devices can connect?

The base subscription includes a set number of devices, and you add more in device packs as the team grows. Count devices rather than people — laptops, desktops and phones each take a connection.

Does it work with servers hosted somewhere other than Zinn Digital®?

It is built for reaching infrastructure you control, and it works wherever you are able to add our dedicated address to an allow-list. If part of your estate sits outside our network, ask us before you buy and we will tell you plainly whether it is in scope.

Stop maintaining a list of home IP addresses

Take one dedicated static address, allow-list it across your estate once, and give your team encrypted access to the servers they administer from wherever they are working.
