In our view, these are excellent figures for a product in this class, especially fanless and at a sub-$700 USD price point.įurther, the product’s physical packaging and environmentals make for even more versatility. Let’s get into performance specifics: Suited up with pfSense Plus, our track testing shows delivery of 18.7 Gbps 元 routing, 10.1 Gbps firewall performance, 7.9 Gbps NAT handling, or 2.1 Gbps of AES-GCM IPsec VPN throughput - using iPerf3 traffic as a benchmark.

We expect this will grab the attention of businesses and service providers alike - with increasing demand for true 10 Gbps performance under pressing traffic conditions.Īt its core, the Netgate 6100 has a 2.2 GHz Quad Core Intel C3558 CPU with integrated QuickAssist Technology, SHA and AES-NI instructions, plus 8 GB of DDR4 memory - leading to a noticeably more performant user experience. At the same time, customers investing in the product should appreciate that it will soon be available with TNSR - transforming it into a stout BGP edge router with serious VPN throughput. Our initial software focus is on pfSense Plus - which provides legendary edge firewall, VPN, and router capabilities.

The Netgate 6100 is designed to run either pfSense® Plus or TNSR® software, enabling it to address a broad range of secure edge networking use cases. Its versatility hardly stops with LAN/WAN ports. The Netgate 6100 is an ideal edge gateway solution for any organization in need of versatile WAN connectivity (1 to 10 Gbps WAN connections - across RJ45, SFP, and SFP+ ports) and high-performance LAN connectivity (4 discrete, unswitched 2.5 Gbps LAN ports), all in a fanless, desktop package starting at $699 USD. We’re excited to introduce our latest secure networking appliance, the Netgate® 6100, available now for preorder! Over a year in the making (new product introduction is always a journey, but the global pandemic made this one particularly challenging), the product sets a new standard for versatility, connectivity, port density, performance and product integration.
