flexiWAN
flexiWAN is an open-source SD-WAN and SASE platform for managing network routing and security. Its components divide the work among flexiManage for centralized management, flexiEdge for local routing and security, and flexiAgent for synchronization and monitoring. Network options include IPSec over VxLAN tunnels, mesh and hub-and-spoke layouts, application-based path selection, internet breakout, DHCP, and static routes. Automation includes zero-touch provisioning, multi-WAN failover, tunnel load balancing, and AI-based network healing. Firewall controls include application identification, port forwarding, and 1:1 NAT; 2FA login is supported. The modular App Store accommodates third-party applications for security, optimization, voice and video, and DPI. flexiWAN runs through Linux, web, API, and self-hosted deployments, with cloud and virtual appliance options. A free plan for 1–5 instances and a trial are available. The pricing note lists plans from $33/mo (annual); the pricing page says minimum fees apply after the trial period.
