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.

FreeRADIUS on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS optimized for AWS EC2 deployments
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for FreeRADIUS running on Ubuntu 24.04, with vendor maintenance support included. Pricing is tied to the AWS EC2 instance size you select. You choose from 21 instance types across several families: burstable t2 and t3 instances, general-purpose m3, m4, and m5, compute-focused c3, c4, and c5, and memory-focused r3, r4, and r5. Larger or more powerful instances carry a higher hourly rate. You run only what you need and can stop billing by stopping the instance. Standard AWS infrastructure charges apply separately.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for each instance type listed?
Each unit is one hour of one running EC2 instance of the size you pick. For example, t3.micro billing counts each hour that one t3.micro instance runs. The rate reflects the instance's CPU and memory. You pay for every running hour, whether the workload is busy or idle.
Am I still charged if I stop or pause the instance?
The hourly software charge meters running time only. When you stop an instance, the software charge stops accruing. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but that is a separate AWS infrastructure charge, not part of this listing's hourly software rate.
What is included beyond the software, and what do I pay AWS separately?
The hourly rate covers the FreeRADIUS software on Ubuntu 24.04 plus vendor maintenance support. Standard AWS infrastructure charges, such as compute, storage, and data transfer, are billed separately by AWS. Support runs around the clock per the vendor's stated service.
