Is this installed specifically on the endpoints or can it be installed on a network gateway (my edge router/gateway is a GNU/Linux machine) to provide analytics and security for the whole LAN?
The website seems to be very light on any technical details, doesn't give me a slightest idea how it operates. Looking at the comments here I suspect it's a endpoint firewall using a VPN (SPN) to tunnel all the traffic through a virtualized network interface and apply rules and analytics to it.
- dhaavi 4y agoIt is installed on the endpoint. It integrates with nfqueue on Linux and a kernel extension on Windows. It does not use a virtual interface. The SPN (Safing Privacy Network; VPN alternative) is optional. More details on the docs: https://docs.safing.io/ https://docs.safing.io/
- tfarias 4y agoAny plans to support SPN installation on an edge router? I have a VPN configured in my pfSense router so that I don't need to run it in each client. I guess this would make it easy to go over the 5 device limit though... Regardless, I'll try out for the firewall and network monitoring.
- dhaavi 4y agoPossibly, but more mid- to long-term. The device limit is hard, but we need to limit usage somewhere, as we don't see how much bandwidth one user uses. Can you elaborate on your use case where you have more than 5 devices?
