Nairobi Availability Zone · Kenya
Site-to-site and remote access VPN managed by Megabit Cloud. MFA, split tunnelling, 24/7 monitoring. Connect your Nairobi office, remote teams, and cloud infrastructure. From $15/mo.
Megabit Cloud VPN as a Service connects your offices, remote workers, and cloud infrastructure over an encrypted tunnel, fully managed, 24/7 monitored, and deployed from the Nairobi availability zone.
Site-to-site VPN links your on-premise offices in Kenya to cloud infrastructure. Remote access VPN gives employees in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, or anywhere else secure access to company systems from any device.
Kenyan organisations and businesses across these sectors rely on this service.
Kenya's commercial banks, Equity Bank (180+ branches), KCB, Cooperative Bank, connect branches across all 47 counties via site-to-site VPN for core banking traffic. Nairobi AZ deployment reduces latency on locally peered routes and keeps banking data within Kenya.
Kenya's large NGO sector, USAID, DfID, GAVI implementing partners, and local CBOs, connect field offices across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Nakuru via managed VPN. Kenya Data Protection Act requirements mean beneficiary data must be processed with appropriate safeguards.
Kenya's national ministries and 47 county governments need managed VPN connecting Nairobi headquarters to county and sub-county offices, with data processing that stays within Kenya under ICTA security standards and the Kenya Data Protection Act.
Nairobi's tech companies with distributed teams across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, and diaspora contributors, need remote access VPN for secure access to internal tools, staging environments, and production databases using M-Pesa billing and Nairobi-time support.
