What is AstraLink Connect?

A quick overview of AstraLink Connect, the Sentry appliance, and what it protects.

AstraLink Connect is a managed network security platform built for small offices, home offices, and growing businesses that do not have an in-house IT team.

It combines a physical device called the Sentry appliance with a cloud dashboard and always-on monitoring. Once the Sentry is plugged in, it protects every device on your network — phones, laptops, printers, cameras, point-of-sale systems, and anything else that connects to your WiFi.

What it does

  • Firewall: controls what traffic can enter or leave your network.
  • Intrusion detection and prevention: catches malware, phishing, and suspicious behavior.
  • DNS protection: blocks known malicious domains before a connection is made.
  • Network segmentation: isolates guest, staff, and payment devices from each other.
  • VPN: gives you secure remote access back to your office.
  • Monitoring: our team watches for incidents and escalates anything that matters.

You manage it through a single dashboard. You do not need to be a network engineer to use it.
