 TNSR Release 20.08 Coming Soon
We are about to announce the availability of TNSR 20.08. Check out our blog in the next few days for all the details!
TNSR Application Spotlight: Cloud Connectivity
Many organizations are migrating some or all of their business applications to public clouds (AWS, Azure) - for access flexibility, scale, and cost reasons - as fast as possible. But users are still at headquarters, branch offices or at home. Hair-pinning through the corporate data center for security purposes is costly for the organization and sluggish for the end-user experience. TNSR software provides cost effective speed, security, and scalability for connecting to the cloud, within the cloud, or across clouds.
For more TNSR use cases, videos, and data sheets, please visit our TNSR resource page.
US Army Cyber School Deploys 100Gb Router with TNSR  The US Army Cyber School (USACS) has been a pfSense software user for years. However, when they came to us with a specific set of requirements: a high-performance, scalable, robust, low-cost, network forwarding and security solution that can efficiently run on inexpensive but powerful commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. Our response was TNSR software, built upon Vector Packet Processing (VPP) from FD.io - a Linux Foundation Networking project to which Netgate has made significant technology contributions. To learn more about how USACS leveraged TNSR software read the case study. Ready to get started with TNSR software?

pfSense Software Video: AutoConfigBackup  Automatic Configuration Backup (ACB) has been available as a pfSense package for many years. In pfSense version 2.4.4 it is available as a core component of pfSense software, no package required. When a change is made to the configuration on a firewall, AutoConfigBackup automatically encrypts the contents with the passphrase entered in the AutoConfigBackup settings and then uploads the backup over HTTPS to Netgate servers. This gives instant, secure offsite backups of a firewall with no user intervention. We created a short video to walk users through this process with pfSense software.

COVID-19 Helping Hand Response Continues to Year-End 2020  Back on March 26, 2020, Netgate issued this blog describing our efforts to help pfSense software users through the tragedy of COVID-19. At that time, we stated these measures would remain in place through May 31, 2020. We weren’t sure then, nor are we certain now how long this situation will last. From our Vice President of Service Delivery, Scott Davis, "I can say definitively that the steps we took have been welcomed and impactful. I know, as I and my team are responsible for addressing each and every support request."
Netgate Tech Tip of the Month - High Availability Troubleshooting High availability configurations can be complex, and with so many different ways to configure a failover cluster, it can be tricky to get things working properly. In this section, some common (and not so common) problems will be discussed and hopefully solved for the majority of cases. If issues are still present after consulting this section, there is a dedicated HA/CARP/VIPs board on the Netgate Forum. Our extensive online documentation is available to help you through this and many other challenges.
