Release notes
What changed in each version, what got fixed, and anything to know before you upgrade.
Every release
What you'll need
System requirements
These are our planned minimums for Community Edition. We'll confirm them when the first release ships.
Processor
64-bit x86 with 2 cores. A CPU with AES-NI makes VPN and TLS inspection a lot faster.
Memory
4 GB to get started. 8 GB if you plan to turn on TLS inspection.
Storage
20 GB for the system and local logs. Add more if you want to keep logs for longer.
Network
At least two network ports: one facing the internet and one for your LAN.
Before you install
Check the file before you trust it.
A firewall sits in front of everything else, so you should know exactly what you're installing. Each release will come with:
- A SHA-256 checksum for every file, so you can make sure the download wasn't damaged or swapped.
- A signature you can check against our public signing key.
- Release notes that explain what changed and what to watch for when you upgrade.
# Example: checking the installer once it's out
$ sha256sum nxsgate-ce-x86_64.iso
<checksum from the release page> nxsgate-ce-x86_64.iso
$ gpg --verify nxsgate-ce-x86_64.iso.sig
Good signature from "NXSgate Releases"Get it the day it's out.
