TNSR™ TNSR Release 18.11 Available Release 18.11 of TNSR - Netgate's open-source high-speed packet processing platform - became available in November. Driven by customer requests for deployment options beyond Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Netgate® hardware appliances (SG-5100, XG-1537 and XG-1541), Release 18.11 adds VMware ESXi and a TNSR ISO for CentOS Linux. To learn more about R18.11 visit this blog post or the release notes.
Fidelis and Netgate Team Up on AWS Security  In December, Netgate and Fidelis CyberSecurity collaborated on a webinar that explains how Fidelis and Netgate provide an extra layer of security for your AWS cloud-based data. Fidelis Cybersecurity has the security application that performs visibility, threat detection, and data loss / theft detection. TNSR provides a high-speed cloud mirror that transparently copies live network traffic for near real-time inspection by Fidelis - fast, easy, and without the need for the painful deployment and maintenance of VM-based monitoring agents. View the joint company recorded webinar here. Prefer to just learn about TNSR as a cloud mirror port? Check out this 8 minute video, or our quick-read application brief.
Netgate Speaks at KubeCon Seattle  Our own CTO, Jim Thompson, spoke at the most recent FD.io MiniSummit, held the first day of KubeCon Seattle 2018. The title of his topic was a provocative "High Performance, Inexpensive NGFW? You Must Be Kidding." Actually, we're not kidding. All of those complex DPI, IDS/IPS, app control, packet filtering, email security, threat protection / sandboxing features claimed by NGFW vendors? And, at 1, 10, or 100 Gbps speeds? Yes. It is doable. In fact, we demonstrated how TNSR can connect directly to a Snort IDS/IPS instance, pass traffic to it at high rates of speed, and execute policy enforcement requests on its behalf. Just another example of the power of TNSR. Take a look at Jim's presentation here.

Microchip® CryptoAuthentication Device In November, Netgate announced we would experiment with a new technology that provides assurance the code you are running is authentic, unaltered pfSense® or TNSR™ software. A Microchip® CryptoAuthentication Device has been added to our newest product - the SG-1100 - that allows us to pilot this solution. Essentially, the microchip stores a certificate that can recognize the product as a legitimate Netgate appliance authorized to receive software and package updates. And, it assures you - the appliance owner - that your hardware is talking to Netgate, and only Netgate, for your software and package updates. As noted, it's a pilot. As it progresses, we envision rolling it out more broadly. Learn more about it in this blog.
Popular SG-1000 and MinnowBoards Sold Out The SG-1000, MBT-2220, and MBT-4440 have added many happy customers to the Netgate family, but they recently reached end of sale status. If you're in the market for a killer 1 Gbps appliance in an attractive, compact, desktop package, the SG-1100 (covered above) is the ticket.
