Netgate is Named Gold Level Member of the Intel Winners Circle
Summary
Netgate has recently been recognized as a Gold Level member of the Intel Winners Circle. Each level is designed to highlight the achievements of ecosystem partners and offers support to awarded solutions. As a Gold Level member, we are excited to continue driving innovation and growth in the secure networking industry through our affordable, high-performance firewall, VPN, and routing solutions. We are also grateful for the recognition of our commitment to advancing the industry and community through technical and financial contributions to open-source driven projects like the Fast Data Project (FD.io) and its flagship technology Vector Packet Processing (VPP), Data Plane Developer Kit (DPDK), Clixon, FreeBSD, Free Range Routing (FRR), strongSwan, and the pfSense Project. This progress includes: • None Moved the underlying OS base from CentOS to Ubuntu • None Certificate-based authentication for IPsec and support for IPv6 IPsec tunnel endpoints • None Option to enable interrupt mode for network interfaces and for dispatching asynchronous cryptographic operations • None Policy Based Routing (ACL-based Forwarding), which can forward traffic based on matching policies in ACLs rather than by destination • None Improvements to IPsec for stability and performance • None Added Layer 2 filtering support and support for dummynet (limiters) to pf • None Improvements to the Captive Portal logout page and process • None New Disks widget to replace the disk usage list in the System Information widget • None AutoConfigBackup no longer makes pages wait to load during the backup process • None The default password hash format in the User Manager has been changed from bcrypt to SHA-512 • None RAM disks have been converted to tmpfs Please see our detailed release notes for more information on the software improvements: In addition to the progress we made on pfSense Plus and TNSR software, we also partnered with Intel Network Builders to release a case study on how Netgates affordable, yet high-performance, TNSR software router was able to help Arkansas State University Three Rivers with their robust networking needs.
