If you need high-throughput firewall, routing, and VPN performance, look no further. The Netgate® 8200 with pfSense® Plus software is the fastest Intel® Atom®-based firewall we offer, in a whisper-quiet rack mount configuration. It is ideal for remote offices, edge deployments, managed service providers, and enterprise networks.
Double the cores, double the memory, double the power.
Combining the power of an 8-Core Intel Atom C3758R CPU with integrated QuickAssist & AES-NI along with 16 GB of memory, the Netgate 8200 provides:
- Over 80% greater firewall and VPN throughput than the Netgate 6100
- Double the firewall performance and over 70% more VPN throughput than the outgoing Netgate 7100*

AFFORDABLE RELIABILITY
Experience the performance and business assurance expected from leading secure networking applications at a fraction of the cost of proprietary alternatives. Enjoy unlimited users, unlimited firewall rules, unlimited IPsec tunnels, dual WAN, etc. with no artificial limits and no additional usage or feature-based pricing.
SIMPLE MANAGEMENT
Manage pfSense Plus software settings through our web-based GUI. No need to fumble with a command line interface or type commands.
FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATION
From Firewall to Unified Threat Management, get all the security features you need to protect your network.
POWER EFFICIENT & QUIET
An actively controlled cooling fan integrated into the chassis baseplate allows the unit to remain uncharacteristically quiet for such a powerful 1U system and the Intel Atom processors are designed for low power consumption.
