The most stable networking software I've ever used

  • December 20, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We've been using VyOS for several years now, both for internet edge routing and site-to-site VPN connectivity. For someone who's experienced in working with networks it's not only easy to use but also quite feature rich, and most importantly it's incredibly stable. I trust VyOS more than I trust any of the other networking equipment we use today.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, nothing comes to mind. It works exactly as intended.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing a stable platform for routing and VPN connectivity

VyOS in Academic Network Education Program

  • December 08, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I use VyOS for academic education in The University of Tokyo. I provide some courses for students to exercise constructing network in virtual environment. I implement the environment using GNS3 and VyOS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to say because currently no problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using VyOS, I provide physical small routers to students for exercise. It is costly to prepare the environments for all students.
After using VyOS, I can provision the environment for each sdudent easily and students can make exercise just using web browser.

Best choice if you need advanced routing, VPN, firewall as open source

  • December 07, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Works great with small applicances, as VM, with great performance. Its ability to have advanced routing, switching, multicast-routig, vpn with ipsec is outstanding. documentation is ok but in many points not complete

Update (20240818) - as I am testing version 1.4.0 I also see that the documentation is getting better and a lot of effort is put into scripts to automatically convert older configurations into compatible ones for the newer version.
What do you dislike about the product?
I missed most the option to use eliptic curves in ipsec connections (rsa suported and with "bad hack" ecdsa is also possible) and that the documentation is not complete and leave a lot of questions open (when you dive into more advanced areas), i also would like to have IPv6 to be able to turn off (all option available do not work), and i do not like that they removed tshark from recent version - it was not perfect as it has display issued when debugging vpn interfaces (would be helpfull if the output would have stated which point in the precess queue the packet displayed is from - e.g. you see non encrypted packages on the tunnel interface - but measuring direct on an external device everything is ok). thats it for now - please do not get the impression there are more bad than good thing - i really love VyOS

Update (20240818) - I am in the evaluation phase of VyOS Version 1.4.0 and I have to say that version is a major step in the right direction. My beloved eliptic curves (ECDSA) are supported out of the box (no patch needed anymore) for public key materials, logging of IPsec is much better, and the new firewall implementation is now able to control any packet flow originating from VyOS (was not true for older versions). My IPv6 problem can be addressed now with the appropriate firewall rules.
I also found an IGMP handling bug in the version 1.3.6, which could be found and fixed with the superb help of the VyOS support. The time to fix was incredible fast compared to traditional support I used in the past for other network software/hardware like Cisco or HPE. I am really thankful for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you need multicast routing and ipsec tunnels running on affordable hardware and do have budget restrictions this is the product to choose. in my environment is runs rock solid, stable and if you know what and how to do it absolutely smooth to administer.


    Higher Education

Excellent operating system for teaching router functions

  • December 06, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The University of Applied Sciences in Esslingen uses VyOS in undergrad courses to teach computer networks. As operating system for software routers, VyOS is a very good choice for lab experiments. VyOS includes all basic functions of a router. It has a sophisticated Command Line Interface (CLI) that is also well documented. Our students learn how to use VyOS easily. We have been using VyOS for several years and we are very satisfied with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
VyOS is very useful. A Web frontend would be nice-to-have, but the CLI has been sufficient so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The KTlab laboratory at the University of Applied Sciences in Esslingen uses Virtual Routers to enable network experiments for a larger number of students. VyOS is a very comprehensive and easy-to-use software router.
