SD-WAN Router Version 3.1

Version 3.1 Highlights

Threat Prevention

Threat Prevention brings a new layer of security to SD-WAN Router that blocks high risk Internet traffic using the Webroot BrightCloud® reputation score associated with the server hosting the service. The reputation score looks at a web page, web page associations and files to determine the likelihood that an IP address may be associated with spam, malware, spyware, web attacks, botnets and other cyber threats. Threat Prevention doesn’t rely on decrypting traffic from secure sites, so it is an efficient and effective tool to prevent cyber attacks even when the data is encrypted.

New Software Packages

With the introduction of Threat Prevention, we are now offering two software subscription packages. The entry level or Basic Package includes all of the features of SD-WAN Router to connect, optimize and provide continuity to all your locations. The Security Package adds a new level of security to your network with Threat Prevention. Both packages are available on all the eSeries hardware appliances offered by Untangle.

Pricing and Availability

SD-WAN Router Basic Package starts at $162/yr. USD, and SD-WAN Router Security Package starts at $260/yr. USD. View the online store for complete pricing and purchasing options.

SD-WAN Router will automatically upgrade to new versions if Automatic Upgrades are turned on, which is the recommended setting. Otherwise, upgrades can be performed from Command Center or through the local web administration. See Upgrading your Untangle SD-WAN Router for more details.

Version 3.0 Highlights

Untangle SD-WAN Router 3.0 includes the ability to use WireGuard® VPN which will enable administrators to connect remote locations to NG Firewall or other devices that support WireGuard VPN, via a secure and performant connection. Other updates include adding LTE support for AT&T, improved DHCP server management, ability to manage NIC media speed, and more.

WireGuard VPN

This new VPN option is easy to implement and increases performance when connecting SD-WAN Router to a network. WireGuard uses state-of-the-art cryptography to secure user networks and delivers fast, performant connectivity, designed for ease-of-implementation and simplicity of configuration. Client-to-site network connectivity is simple to set up with an easy copy and paste between servers.

AT&T LTE

Untangle SD-WAN Router has achieved certification by AT&T to use the provider for LTE services. This improves the ability of SD-WAN Router to provide reliable internet connectivity to remote offices or branches that have unreliable or limited internet service. Users can select AT&T as the LTE provider on the SD-WAN Router e6wl appliance. Untangle SD-WAN Router is now certified to use any of the major carriers in the U.S. (AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon).
