Customer Advisory
Internet Gateway Security
As your trusted internet service provider, bikpla.net wants to ensure you are making informed decisions about how your business connects to the internet.
Starlink and similar satellite services provide excellent raw connectivity, but they function as a basic internet pipe — traffic passes between your network and the internet with minimal intervention. This means your business is exposed to threats including malicious content, phishing sites, malware distribution, and unsolicited inbound connection attempts, with little or no protection standing between you and the open internet.
bikpla.net delivers more than connectivity.
Every customer on our network benefits from a managed security layer that includes:
Content filtering
blocking access to known malicious, inappropriate, and high-risk websites
Security scanning
inspection of traffic to identify and neutralise threats before they reach your network
Port blocking
preventing exploitation of commonly attacked services and reducing your attack surface
Ongoing monitoring
continuous oversight of network behaviour to detect and respond to emerging threats
When you use Starlink or any unmanaged service as your primary gateway, you assume full responsibility for your own security posture. For most businesses, this means significant gaps in protection that can lead to data breaches, ransomware infections, regulatory exposure, and operational disruption.
We strongly recommend that all customers route their internet traffic through bikpla.net as their primary gateway to ensure these protections are always in place. For customers who need assistance achieving this, bikpla.net can supply, configure, and maintain the necessary gateway equipment on your premises — ensuring your traffic is always correctly routed through our secure network without placing the technical burden on your team.
