I recently shared how Netgate was extending a helping hand to specific assistance to organizations and individuals who are rapidly shifting their IT infrastructure to accommodate shelter in place, and perhaps more specifically, VPN-based work from home.

Today I wanted to share a blog from our CEO about the USNS Mercy and how they had to quickly adapt and needed network devices that could process large amounts of IPSec and GRE traffic while applying traffic policies to ensure critical data would flow through bandwidth-constrained ship communication circuits.
