        I have the home version of LogonBox, nice Web UI that has a QR code to configure the client. At work we use zScaler for 25k+ users.
        At some point if you want the pretty pictures and easy config you have to pay the ones that developed it and as you said, they are proud of their work.

              Are you sure about that? Without running TNSR, the limitation is up to 10Gbps on the rack based pfsense+ gear.

                @michmoor better be one hell of a box that can handle 10ge over vpn connections ;)

                From the summary page it lists the 1541 running pfsense for ipec vpn
                IPERF3 Traffic: 9.30 Gbps

                But imix on that drops too
                IMIX Traffic: 1.77 Gbps

                With the requirements of this RFP - don't believe pfsense would be best fit no.

                  @johnpoz I interpret it as just routing at L3 for 10Gbps.
                  "With the requirements of this RFP - don't believe pfsense would be best fit no."

                  • Probably not pfsense. TNSR?

                  But IPsec VPN sustained for 10Gbps...Yikes.. Looking up big brand vendors (PA), they do have boxes that do that but you will be paying so much $$$.
                  Maybe there's a budget for that. Then again, TNSR can do 10Gbps easily for the fraction of the price.

                  Im wondering if GrayLog has the ability to do a "live map" for VPN.
                  I have a set up for Snort where I have a world map of the IPs that are tripping my sensor and their location. MaxMind license required. At a high level I can see how it could be adaptable to VPNs.

                    This is 1200 individual VPN clients?

                        Mmm, that's tough because generally that means one server process. So 10G is pretty much right out with pfSense.
