A whole-company client and management platform with unlimited users. You control your own nodes and lines; we provide only the software — your data never touches a third party.
The client-license edition is a network-access client for enterprise IT teams: a whole-company license with unlimited headcount, where you connect your own nodes and lines. It suits teams that already run self-built nodes or have purchased lines and need a professional client plus a management console — with strict data sovereignty, so traffic never passes through a third party, and an IT team able to maintain the node infrastructure itself.
Core difference from the SaaS edition: the client edition includes no lines or node resources — you fully control your own network, and TUN Nova provides only the client software and management platform.
Pair it with the SaaS hosted edition for managed nodes — ask us.
Already run self-built nodes or bought lines, but need a unified management tool.
Won't allow traffic through any third-party provider.
An IT team that can maintain node infrastructure itself.
Want enterprise management at low cost, replacing employees' personal tools.
