On May 31, we announced the 19.05 release of TNSR and it provides a number of enhancements to our enterprise and service provider firewall, VPN and routing solution. Ready to get started with TNSR?

TNSR Presentation at FD.io Mini-Summit  Containers are the future. But most aren’t deploying them yet. That means the other 2/3 of the FD.io deployment diagram - bare metal and VM - are still very important ways to take advantage of FD.io, and specifically, Vector Packet Processing (VPP). In this presentation, Jim Thompson Netgate CTO, walks through two deployed use cases - one on premises, and one in the cloud - where FD.io is bringing performance gains - and price performance gains - to bear right now.

pfSense Protecting DreamHack Dallas
We were excited to announce that we upgraded DreamHack's IT infrastructure to offer more powerful pfSense secure networking capabilities to the 20,000-25,000 thousand gamers that attended DreamHack Dallas.
“We are proud to have Netgate appliances with pfSense software be a significant part of DreamHack’s network backbone and its overall security,” said Jamie Thompson, Netgate CEO. “Our solutions are used in every vertical and on every continent, but a gaming convention is a particularly robust test of product performance, stability, and speed of deployment.”
Choosing the Right Netgate Appliance 
Netgate has a popular set of secure networking appliances ranging from the SG-1100 to the XG-1541. Buyers can quickly and easily differentiate them on the basis of physical interconnect, CPU, and price. But, there is another purchase factor that is less obvious, yet quite important. That factor is the product’s internal architecture. 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 our latest 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.

Netgate Tech Tip of the Month
Always take a backup of the firewall configuration prior to any major change to the firewall, such as an upgrade.
Do not update packages before upgrading pfSense! Either remove all packages or do not update packages before running the upgrade. The upgrade will take several minutes to complete. The exact time varies based on download speed, hardware speed, and other factors such installed packages. Be patient during the upgrade and allow the firewall enough time to complete the entire process. After the update packages finish downloading it could take 10-20 minutes or more until the upgrade process ends. The firewall may reboot several times during the upgrade process. Monitor the upgrade from the firewall console for the most accurate view. Consult the Upgrade Guide for additional information about performing upgrades to pfSense software.
