VPN Setup Dubai

Three VPN Types We Install

Choose by use case:

• Site-to-site VPN - links Dubai office to Sharjah branch, Abu Dhabi office, or AWS/Azure cloud
• Client-to-site VPN - individual user devices connect remotely (laptops, phones)
• Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) - per-application access, identity-aware, modern replacement for legacy VPN
• Hybrid - combine all three for distributed teams

Vendor and AED Pricing

Real cost ranges by deployment size:

• FortiGate 60F (10-50 users): AED 3,500 hardware + AED 1,200 licence = AED 4,700 total

Standard FortiGate client-to-site install for 25-user Dubai SMB: 1) hardware racked and powered, 2) ISP bridge mode set on Etisalat/du modem, 3) SSL VPN portal configured at https://office.example.com:10443 with branding, 4) FortiToken MFA enforced on every user, 5) Active Directory or local user database with per-user permissions, 6) FortiClient pre-configured for laptops and phones, 7) external testing from outside the office. Standard install 1 working day, AED 2,500-4,000 install plus hardware.

MFA & Zero-Trust Security

Every VPN account at Azizi Technologies gets MFA enforced - FortiToken, Cisco Duo, Microsoft Authenticator, or YubiKey hardware keys. SMS-based MFA is considered weak in 2026. For mature organisations migrating from legacy VPN, we recommend ZTNA (Cloudflare Zero Trust, Zscaler, Palo Alto Prisma Access) as the modern replacement.
