Netgate Refreshes TNSR.com

If you’ve visited tnsr.com in the past, it’s time to take a fresh tour! We’ve updated the site look and feel - and made significant changes to the home page, product pages, application pages, and pricing/support information - all in an effort to get key information to our visitors fast and easy.

We’re especially proud to provide two key sub-product pages:

• Performance: which shows Gbps and packet per second (PPS) testing information for a variety of packet traffic scenarios
• TNSR software vs. pfSense software: a simple breakdown of just how different these two products are (driven by questions posted on our social media channels)

Soon, we’ll be adding a series of short-form overview and technical guidance videos designed to provide more product and solution insight - delivered in bite-sized chunks that are easy to consume whenever you have a few minutes to catch up. Secure networking is changing rapidly and can get complicated to absorb - we’ll do everything we can to demystify it for interested viewers. If you’d like to be kept informed as these new videos come online, click here and we’ll notify you!

Netgate SG-5100

Looking for the best appliance to run pfSense software in your home or small office? If you are like many of our customers, you are looking for something with:

• True gigabit speeds
• Superior encryption handling 
• Lots of ports for flexible configuration

If that sounds like you, the Netgate SG-5100 pfSense appliance is a perfect fit. Netgate is the only official producer of appliances that are designed, certified, and tested for pfSense software.

Dollar-for-dollar, nothing will outperform this gateway appliance.

Choosing the Right Netgate Appliance

You may (or may not) be aware that internal architecture differs significantly across the SG-1100, SG-3100, SG-5100, XG-7100 and XG-1537/XG-1541.

In this blog, we cover a few secure networking use cases that routinely surface in customer conversations and how the Netgate appliance architecture should play a part in your decision.
