VyOS​

VyOS is an open source network OS that provides flexible network features such as traffic filtering, flow analysis, HA topologies, IPsec, OpenVPN, NAT, and routing. Key points of using VyOS:

  • Basic network resources for virtual machines (DNS, DHCP, NTP);
  • Wide range of VPN technologies (OpenVPN, IPSec, L2TP);
  • Secure connectivity: built-in firewall to separate virtual machines, restrict access from outside, and protect workloads;
  • High availability features provide active/backup redundancy for routers to avoid disruption of critical operations;
  • No limits or requirements for license purchases.

VyOS is fully compatible with XCP-ng and comes with dedicated paravirtual drivers included in the image for best performance.
