⚡

“We built VunaFlow because we were paying KES 3,000 a month for a Faiba 40Mbps line that earned us nothing. The same line now earns 12–18k. We built it for our own use first, then opened it up to other East AfricanISPs running into the same gap.”

What would you pay?
Type your numbers — the bill is the same formula our billing runs, nothing hidden.
1 router × TSh 10,000TSh 10,000
Your monthly billTSh 10,000
Hotspot sales are never charged a percentage — your TSh 30,000 stays yours. On the 3%-of-sales model most billing systems charge, this setup would cost TSh 10,000/month.

Real numbers, not marketing fluff. Router and internet figures are estimates converted from current Kenyan retail prices at about TSh 20 per KSh, rounded; confirm with your local supplier. The VunaFlow fee is the real Tanzanian price. Revenue ranges are conservative estimates based on East African hotspot operator averages.

VunaFlow takes 0% of customer payments. Standard mobile-money transaction fees apply directly to your account. Talk to us on WhatsApp for help choosing the right tier for your location.

Ask on WhatsApp
Real questions

The things people actually ask us.

Pulled from the DMs and WhatsApps we get every week. If yours isn't here, message us on WhatsApp — we reply same-day.

Will it work if my router is on 192.168.1.1 / behind a regular home router?
Yes. We open a secure L2TP/IPsec tunnel from your MikroTik to our VPS — your router doesn't need a public IP, doesn't need port forwarding, doesn't need a static address from your provider. CGNAT, double-NAT, dynamic IP — all fine. Setup takes the same 5 minutes.
Do I need a TCRA licence to start?
Short answer: start small, then formalise. Most small operators (1–3 routers in a shop, plaza, or estate) begin without a TCRA network-facility licence. Check TCRA's current rules as you grow past a few routers or bid for institutional contracts — VunaFlow works the same either way.
Can I use a home fibre line, or do I need a business line?
Technically yes — VunaFlow works on any internet line. But residential plans forbid commercial reselling in their terms. Get caught (rare, but it happens) and you lose the line without refund. Business Fibre is ~2× the price but explicitly allows reselling — and the price difference disappears once you're earning 10k+/mo.
What MikroTik routers actually work? I have a hAP lite.
Anything running RouterOS v6.45+ with API enabled. Tested daily on hAP lite (RB941), hAP ac², hAP ax², RB750, RB951, and CCR-series for ISPs at scale. The hAP lite (~TSh 90,000) is the cheapest path to your first hotspot.
How much does VunaFlow actually cost me per month?
TSh 10,000 per router per month — no hidden charges. PPPoE customers are TSh 300 each per month. VunaFlow takes 0% of your customer payments — the mobile-money transaction fee goes straight to your PalmPesa account, not us.
Do I need my own payment-gateway integration?
No. You just need a PalmPesa merchant account. VunaFlow handles the PalmPesa integration end-to-end — you paste your details into Settings and the payment prompt starts working.
What happens after the 3-day free trial?
Pick any plan and keep going. If you don't pay, your dashboard pauses but the customer-facing portal stays online so you don't lose revenue. Nothing is auto-charged — we ask before billing.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — one click from the Billing page. No contracts and no termination fees. You keep your data and can export everything before leaving.
