The Netgate® SG-1000 microFirewall is a cost-effective, state-of-the-art, ARM®-based, a running pfSense® Security Gateway appliance.

The Netgate SG-1000 comes with dual 1Gbps Ethernet ports, enabling maximum throughput exceeding 100Mbps^[1].

The ARM Cortex®-A8 in the TI AM3552 SoC and DDR3L RAM facilitate low-power consumption while maintaining performance.

The Netgate SG-1000 comes in a lightweight anodized aluminum case. It’s credit-card sized footprint allows it to be easily tucked away, but you’ll be proud to show it off. We’ve even bundled iniw a one-year onsite support service and subscription of Netgate security update.

The Netgate SG-1000 microFirewall is inexpensive and purpose-built to run pfSense software. It can be deployed in many environments: Multi-dwelling units (MDU) such as apartments and dorm rooms, commercial-control applications (SCADA), and the more traditional small office / home office environments. It is also an ideal security gateway for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as remote monitoring applications for smart home/smart cities, commercial automation, energy management, agricultural, and health care.

Netgate firewall and router distribution based on FreeBSD that is functionally competitive with expensive, proprietary commercial firewalls. pfSense software-based appliances can be configured as a stateful packet filtering firewall, a LAN or WAN router, VPN Appliance, DHCP Server, DNS Server, or can be configured for other applications and special purpose appliances. This next generation pfSense security appliance features include:

• Stateful packet filtering firewall or pure router
• Routing policy per gateway and per-rule for failover and load balancing
• Transparent layer 2 firewall
• Support for IPV6, NAT, BGP
• Captive portal with MAC filtering, RADIUS support, etc
• VPN: IPsec, OpenVPN, L2TP
• Dynamic DNS client
• Reporting and monitoring features with real time information

[1] Layer 3 forwarding performance using FreeBSD without a packet filter exceeds 400Mbps. Using pfSense with the default ruleset offers performance exceeding 100Mbps.
