 TNSR Customer Story: U.S. Army Cyber School  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 their customer story. Learn how you can get started with TNSR software.
TNSR Application Spotlight: High-Throughput Site-to-Site IPsec Do you have key workloads moving to the cloud? Are business locations suffering from drinking through a straw’? Let TNSR supercharge your site-to-site VPN needs. The rise in worker mobility, distributed offices, and complex multi-cloud hosting of business applications is escalating organizations’ reliance on encryption. This puts computational strain on traditional VPN solutions, especially as bandwidth needs evolve from 1 to 10 to 40 Gbps or more. Traditional router/VPN appliances buckle under the load - particularly when the packet traffic shifts towards IMIX. TNSR software shines at high-performance site-to-site IPsec, especially when compared to traditional solutions underpinned by kernel-based, single packet-at-a-time processing approaches.

Cintra Chooses pfSense Plus Software for AWS and Oracle Cloud Access

Netgate Tech Tip of the Month: Connecting to the WebGUI Most of the configuration in pfSense is performed using the web-based GUI configurator (webConfigurator), or WebGUI for short. There are a few tasks that may also be performed from the console, whether it be a monitor and keyboard, over a serial port, or via SSH. This section of the pfSense documentation will guide you through connecting to the WebGUI. Our extensive online documentation is available to help you through this and many other challenges.
