About

VyOS Inc. develops and maintains VyOS, an open-source network operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux. The platform provides a comprehensive suite of software-based network routing, firewall, and VPN functionalities, designed to offer a flexible and cost-effective alternative to proprietary hardware routers. VyOS is built to run on a wide variety of environments, including bare-metal hardware, popular virtualization platforms such as VMware and KVM, and major cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Originally established as a community fork of the discontinued Vyatta Core project in 2013, VyOS has evolved into an enterprise-grade solution used by managed service providers, educational institutions, and corporate networks worldwide. The company operates with a fully remote workforce and maintains a strong commitment to open-source principles, offering its entire codebase for public inspection and contribution. VyOS Inc. supports its development through commercial subscriptions that provide access to pre-built Long Term Support (LTS) images, technical support, and custom development services, ensuring the project's sustainability while keeping the core software free and accessible.
