TNSR Application Spotlight: Site-to-Site IPsec VPN 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. For more TNSR use cases, videos, and datasheets, please visit our TNSR resource page.
TNSR Configuration Recipe: Using Access Control Lists (ACLs)  Setting up and configuring new software can often be challenging. To aid our customers in getting up and running quickly with TNSR software we include several configuration recipes in TNSR documentation. The use cases covered by these recipes are real-world challenges encountered by Netgate customers. In this recipe, we provide an example configuration of TNSR with an ACL that allows SSH, ICMP, and HTTP/HTTPs connections only from a specific Remote Admin Host.

Other News Check Out Our New Website!  The Netgate.com website just got a significant update! It's another step in our journey to better serve new visitors and customers. The site provides an entirely new look and feel, including an overhauled menu structure that places significantly more information about our products, applications, and customer stories right at your fingertips. One area of the site where we've invested heavily is a greater depth of information around our products - pfSense Plus software, TNSR software, and Netgate appliances. On each software product page, you'll find a "Get to Know..." fold that provides easy access to Overview, Features, Performance, Technology, Resources, and How to Buy information. The features section provides a quick explanation of each core software feature, with links directly to our product documentation for those in search of more in-depth learning and/or implementation guidance. Our new Appliances page contains a handy comparison table with a set of product selection filters for narrowing down the best set of choices for your needs, as well as at-a-glance user profile, feature, and performance data. Further, each appliance card has a link straight to our store - where full product specifications are listed, and where purchases can be made. We hope you find the new website experience fresh, fast, easy to use, and informative. As always, if you have a question, please reach out to us!
What's In a Name? Longstanding (and maybe even newer) customers will recognize that Netgate has been gradually evolving its product naming. As an example, a few years back, we had the SG-2440. To break down its product name meaning, ‘SG’ implied 1 Gbps interfaces (where XG implied 10 Gbps interfaces), and ‘2440’ was shorthand for 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, and 4 NICs. There were other appliances with similar naming conventions. Now we've made a second change and we have dropped the appliance prefixes altogether. For more information on the new Netgate appliance names, please see our blog.
