VyOS is a fully open-source, enterprise-grade router platform. Being open-source and community-driven is not a liability for us, not an early stage gimmick we want to shed—it’s our distinctive advantage. VyOS started as a community fork of a discontinued Vyatta Core project in 2013, with a promise to live up to free and open-source software values. We kept the promise and turned VyOS into a successful, self-funded project.

IPFire is a dedicated firewall that can be installed in any network - from data center down to your home. It is secure, fast and very versatile.
