Closed User Group

By creating a common, private connection between two or more members, closed user group services offer users greater control of their network traffic while helping to mitigate the risk of cyber-attacks.

  • Secure your traffic with a single private connection between multiple stakeholders
  • Handle any traffic, from collaborative application data to VOIP
  • Maintain full control over your environment for complete peace of mind

LINX Closed User Groups

When collaboration is critical, having a single private connection that allows traffic to pass between multiple stakeholders can have a significant positive impact on security and efficiency.

LINX Closed User Group allows LINX members to create a common environment to connect multiple sites, suppliers, partners, and even customers – with all traffic passing through one secure connection.

Independent to standard peering, LINX Closed User Group can be provided using a dedicated port, or through a VLAN on your existing port.

Each closed user group is assigned a group controller, giving that member control over the environment, including granting user access, deciding bandwidth allocation, and any other user group amendments that require secure authorisation.
