FreeRADIUS 3.2.5 on Ubuntu 24.04 with free maintenance supported by PCloudHosting. This AMI delivers a robust, secure, and scalable RADIUS server designed for authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) in enterprise, cloud, and service provider environments. Built on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, it offers long-term stability, security updates, and high performance for mission-critical access control workloads.

FreeRADIUS is widely used for centralized authentication across WiFi networks (802.1X), VPN access, network devices, firewalls, and identity-based access systems. This solution supports industry-standard authentication protocols including PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP, EAP, and certificate-based authentication, enabling seamless integration with existing network infrastructure and security policies.

The AMI comes preinstalled and preconfigured to significantly reduce deployment time and operational complexity. Administrators can quickly launch the instance and begin configuring RADIUS clients, users, and authentication policies without manual installation steps. This makes the product suitable for rapid production deployment, testing environments, and scalable cloud-based authentication services.

FreeRADIUS supports flexible backend integrations, including local user files and extensible authentication modules, allowing organizations to adapt the server to their specific access control requirements. Its modular architecture makes it ideal for ISPs, enterprises, educational institutions, managed service providers, and cloud-native environments.

The AMI includes free maintenance support by PCloudHosting, providing assistance with initial setup, configuration guidance, updates, and troubleshooting related to the operating system and FreeRADIUS service. This support helps ensure reliable operation in production environments while allowing customers to focus on their core business and network security objectives.
