VyOS Networks Avis 60

Over the last two years of so, VyOS has become my go-to for a wide range of use cases, ranging from a simple home router all the way up to using it for private to public cloud connectivity on AWS, Azure and GCP. It's also a great VPN appliance for road-warriors.

It doesn't matter what I throw it on, KVM, Xen or VMware hypervisors, or bare metal Xeon, Xeon-D and below... it just works.

VyOS kicks ... you know what. I hope you'll decide to support the project too.

VyOS is my go-to router distribution. I use it at client sites, at home, and would not hesitate to recommend it for most router/firewall needs. It runs superbly well on small low powered hardware as well as larger servers. I have never used or needed the paid support, but for a mission critical installation I would think it would be beneficial.

Great !

Used as bgp router and also in a different box as vxlan with great performance.

Several features on a single platform

We have been using Vyatta/VYOS for years now and recently started participating in paid support program. We are happy to do this as we think it is important to financially support good open source software. I have had a couple of support issues thus far where I was not able to easily find the answer I was looking for on the web. I could have taken more time to look, but instead I was able to open up a quick line of communication to the VYOS support team. Their response has been prompt and thorough and truly interested in answering the question versus just moving through tickets. Great Job!

Reliable substitute for physical routers.

It is an all in one networking solution for our remote branch office connectivity and corporate access. It can be nearly deployed everywhere (clouds / virtual appliance/ physical device). It is a perfect choice to add to your tech basket if you are a development-aware IT guy or an IT-aware developer. The development team are very supporting both technically and humanely.
You may interact in their slack channels with the contributors and product owners as well as file and watch the issues in their phabricator.
Although they offer official builds via subscription, you are allowed and may achieve the same build in DIY manner via the instructions for free. They also generously offer free subscription to support the soul of contribution to heavy contributors. Their recent empathy to offer free subscription and setup help for organizations falling into remote work category due to COVID protections is just an example of what makes you feel attached.

VyOS is an excellent virtual router and we have made it a staple of our IT systems; using it almost everywhere!

Stable, lots and lots of production level features, well thought-out cli contexts, config is readable, system is scriptable, easy access to tcpdump, easy to back-up and restore, great price.

Perfect and fast OS for routers. Using it widely in our internal and external infrastructure, never had any kind of serious issues with it.

You guys have been great to work with but you are making the wrong decision with T2100 to not set check igp as default. Every other BGP implementation does this. The feedback I am getting from the networking community says that no one wants this and I have demonstrated how it breaks BGP networks. This breaks BGP in a subtle way that only becomes apparent during a reroute. I am giving this feedback to help you improve.

A very good community and excellent Router. VyOS ist very stable. We use VyOS to communicate with our servers in different locations. It works very well!

Found it a bit difficult to figure out the right product configuration for us, but we are happy with the product quality.
