A disk image which can be written to a USB memory stick memstick and booted on the target hardware for installation. Installs using a monitor and keyboard connected to the target hardware, or virtual machines with equivalent components. Installs using a serial console on COM1 of the target hardware. This option requires a non-USB hardware console port. Copy or download the SHA sum displayed by the page to verify the download.
Thick Provisioned will also consume more physical space on the disk. Under Network Mapping , allocate one or more virtual network interface card vNIC on the destination network using the drop-down list. This will vary depending on release.
Select Power on after deployment to automatically power on the VM. Click Finish to deploy the OVA. The OVA deploys the. If a bootstrap configuration file was included in the OVA, the router configuration is automatically enabled.
For details see the Console Mapping section. You have set the correct Firewall Options to allow VM serial port to be connect over network. Under Configuration, select Create a Custom configuration , and click Next. Specify the name of the VM, and click Next. Under Storage, select the datastore for the VM files, and click Next. Select Virtual Machine version 8, and click Next.

Supported memory size is 16GB. Under Network , allocate at least 4 virtual network interface cards vNICs. From the drop-down select the number of vNICs. Select a different network for each vNIC. It passes all our requirements, but we recommend trying it only if the other 3 systems don't satisfy your needs.
It has the absolute best support for wireless of all systems we have tested. If you plan on using a separate Access Point and are looking for the best Open Source operating system in terms of features, documentation, community and easy to manage user interface, we strongly recommend trying OPNSense or pfSense.
Best free Linux router and firewall distributions of This article has been last updated on August 3, Why is our router distro comparison better than others? IPCop - avoid at all cost Once popular operating system, included in all "top 10" lists such as this one. Smoothwall - long dead Smoothwall got some good reputation in the early days when it was competing with IPCop. M0n0wall - retired M0n0wall is the godfather of the most successful operating systems we have today.
Tomato - not for new routers Tomato is cool, and we love it, but it's a minimal firmware designed for flashing off-the-shelf routers such as D-Link and Asus. Zeroshell - poor choice We like the concept of Zeroshell, and we hope it succeeds, but today the system is far behind it's competitors. Not recommended because they are not user friendly There are other systems that are relevant, and receive updates, but we still don't recommend them, at least to less technical users.
For these reasons we don't recommend the following systems: 7. VyOS - no Web interface We love VyOS, but we highly discourage our customers from getting it, unless they really know what they are doing. Debian and Ubuntu - don't use general purpose OS for your router These systems are not intended for routers.
Nor recommended because they are not really free There are also a few systems we don't recommend because they are not truly free or open source. Untangle - is it really free if OS asks you to upgrade to a paid version? Sophos - small fish in an enterprise pond Sophos "XG Firewall" distribution has a very nice user interface and is free for home use.
Endian - you really have to pay to use it fully Endian is actually pretty cool, and free. Basic requirements for choosing Firewall Operating System The system must be actively maintained, and regularly receive security patches. Command line operating systems are disqualified. The system must be performant, and work well for a typical user. If you plan on using WiFi on your router, get Linux-based operaing sustem. BSD also limits the maximum throughput per connection.
OpenWRT has the lowest hardware requirements of all operating systems we have reviewed. Advantages It has the best WiFi support. It supports all the latest wireless standards and has a great Web Interface for quickly configuring and managing WiFi access points. Utilized all CPU cores for routing, and achieves the best routing performance There are about optional software packages available for installation It boots in about 7 seconds.
Much faster than other distributions. Please describe your contributions and provide links to git commits, Phabricator tasks, blog posts and anything else. People who have contributed to VyOS before release model change in can get a perpetual subscription.
Everyone who contributed only after the model change gets a yearly subscription that is extended if they remain active within the project. Rolling release images are free to download for everyone. Ready to use long term support release images are only available to customers who purchased a subscription and to community members who are contributing code, testing or documentation to the project.
Everyone can build an LTS release image from the stable branch too. For 1. The image built from the branch is equivalent to the latest official LTS image. The entire codebase is available to the public on GitHub, complete with the build toolchain.
We also keep Debian package repositories used for image builds public so building it completely from source is not required. Long term support branches are periodically split from the current branch. They are stable, and only proven, strictly compatible changes are merged or backported into it.
ISO images of the rolling release are public, while long term support release ISOs are only available to subscribers and contributors in binary form. If you want to load default the configuration remotely, you can run the command below, but be careful, all network parameters and services like ssh may be aborted.
You can configure interface parameters and ssh access before running command commit. Take a look at the subscription section , where we explain the professional support options. Run an image dedicated to your platform or boot the generic ISO image on your system.
Log in and run install image. The documentation is undergoing reorganization. The manual on GitHub is automatically deployed in Read the Docs, where you can find the basic description of VyOS and its configuration. The articles here on the knowledgebase , where you can find more specific information, troubleshooting and workarounds.
The rolling release is built daily and passes some basic automated tests, but there is no guarantee that everything will work perfectly. In VyOS, it is easy to revert to the previous version if something goes wrong.
The rolling release should be good enough for non-critical production use, since you can always go back to a working version at the end of the maintenance window and report the findings. Everyone is welcome to contribute to VyOS. Even if you are not a programmer, there are a lot of things you can do, including writing documentation, testing development builds and reporting issues.
This is why we made them available for people who help the project move forward, either by purchasing a subscription and thus funding the work of the maintainers, or by participating in the project directly. If you are contributing code, substantial amount of testing or documentation writing, or are an active VyOS evangelist, you are eligible for a free LTS image access subscription.
All new features are now added to the vyos-1x package in an effort to consolidate the code and data. Old packages inherited from Vyatta Core such as vyatta-cfg-system are considered legacy and are eliminated when the code they contain is redesigned and rewritten. Since the release of VyOS 1. As such, any such code will be rejected. All new code must follow the new guidelines created to ensure maintainability and enable us to introduce features formerly prevented by the limitations of the old config backend and old coding approach, such as parallelized commits, live rollbacks and so on.
Before you make a pull request, please create a task in Phabricator and reference it in your commit messages, e. What hardware platforms does VyOS support? At the moment, VyOS works on x, either bare metal of virtualized. See the full list of solutions. The most realistic plan right now is to support ARM64 hypervisors. Rolling release is, by definition, not guaranteed to be stable. If any error happens please check the forum or the bugtracker if the error is already known.
If not, feel free to report your issue. No, VyOS uses "binary installation" that allows you to keep multiple images on the same system and switch between them. This requires a full installation of the system.
To ensure upgrade safety, VyOS uses "binary installation" that allows you to keep multiple images on the same system and switch between them. Upgrade procedure Note: If you have a working system, you don't need to boot from the ISO in order to upgrade!
The commands given below are to be issued from your current system. Find the URL for the desired release in release notes or release announcement. Note: the image file depends on your system architecture. Choosing the wrong architecture can lead to a non-responsive remote device. Answer the installation script questions. Reboot your system. If you can still access the machine console, reboot it and select the previous image from the GRUB menu.
Upgrade does not modify existing images and files associated with them, so you will be able to get a working system again. Forwards-compatible configuration syntax changes are handled automatically. In the case a release includes incompatible syntax changes, you may need to edit your config or perform other actions. Check release notes. Releases are assumed to be backwards-compatible unless otherwise specified.
If you are running a release prior to 1. Upgrading directly from older releases may result in a non-bootable image. Even though VyOS is Debian-based, it does not use apt-get for the upgrade. The only supported upgrade procedure is image-based upgrade described above.
Right after installation, you should be able to login with these credentials: Username: vyos Password: vyos. Edge IOT Gateway. Cloud Gateway. VPN Gateway. Enterprise Edge Router.
