NeoRouter Professional Edition coming soon

We’re very excited to announce that the first NeoRouter Professional Edition is released this week. You are welcome to download it and give it a try. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated and we will improve it ASAP, as it is designed just for YOU.

Over the past year, more and more business users are attracted by the unique features of NeoRouter solution. They gave us a lot of great suggestions, which we evaluated and have been implemented in our products as the software gets updated. Right now, it becomes a very powerful VPN solution and covers the most common requirements from both home uses and business users and gets more popular.

Obviously, we noticed the difference of requirements between the home users and the business users. Most home users would like to use NeoRouter to remotely access their computers at home or office, play games, transfer files and so on. Some of them may not have solid technical background and hope the software as simple as possible. However, most business users may require the official support from us, more advanced features related to the stability, security, management, customization and so on. Some of them may use NeoRouter in some critical environments while others may suggest it to their own customers as well.

To meet the requirements, it would be better to split NeoRouter into different editions – Free and Professional. They are sharing the same solid core code base and have the most common features. But the Professional Edition may contains more advanced features for the business users, such as access control list (ACL), branding, technical support service, later on, authentication with PAM/LDAP/Active Directory, backup/restore and so on.

So far, the Professional Edition is still under the beta-test phase, but we hope it will be released soon.

Thanks for everyone’s continued support for NeoRouter!

NeoRouter for Mac OS X is ready to go

After couple of months hard work, the NeoRouter Free for Mac OS X is ready to go. It supports both x86 and PPC Mac computers and it will be released as a universal binary. So far, it’s finished with the testing and we plan to release it with the new build v0.9.8 soon. Check out the screenshot.

NeoRouter is becoming the first cross-platform P2P VPN solution, that can be running on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and linux-based devices. Using the NeoRouter virtual network, you can have direct access to any of your computer or device from anywhere around the world.

We will have the NeoRouter virtual network to support such devices Smart Phones, Solaris, BSD and even Win98/95.

Thanks everyone! Stay tuned!

NeoRouter client for Linux comming soon

We are really excited to announce that we will have NeoRouter Client CLI for Linux release soon. So far, it’s still under the alpha test. Check out the screen shot.

We plan to develop and publish NeoRouter for Linux, Mac OS and Mobile phone version. Thanks for the  hard work of NeoRouter team, we can start testing the Linux client now. Thought it’s just a CLI client, it supports all basic features, such as built-in firewall, computer list and so on.  It still has two components, one is running as a service under root permission and another is dealing with UI. It provides the same list as Windows version and keep the list automatically updated whenever changes happen to your virtual network like a computer goes online/offline, instead of just a command line tool. Since most Linux boxes would be running in the passive mode, it’s easy for users to remotely manage the Linux boxes using VNC, ssh, Samba, Xmanager and so on.

Moreover, we have already ported it to support OpenWrt, Tomato and FON firmwares. Can you imagine that you can make your Linksys router or Asus router a small computer and remotely access the NAS or printer attached to it?

BTW, the Mac version is on the way and would be finished pretty soon, as the most hard issues have been solved.

Stay tuned!

NeoRouter user base continues to grow!

After lots of hard work, the latest version of NeoRouter v0.9.6 has been released recently. At the moment, the first thing comes to my mind is want to say “thanks” to our users for their great feedback and bug reporting. Without your support, we cannot make NeoRouter perfect.

Luckily for us, the overall sentiment for NeoRouter is great. From our statistics, more than 50,000 copies of NeoRouter software have been downloaded and installed by our users, who are from 118+ countries and territories around world. We are very happy and excited that NeoRouter actually fill a need in people’s life, when they want to remote access a computer from anywhere easily and securely.

That’s our goal as well. In the passed few months, we did a lot for this goal and now we’ve a big feature list (http://www.neorouter.com/). Besides remote desktop and sharing files, some features are really useful and unique, for example:

• User management and built-in firewall and access control list (ACL)
• Portable –  download and run, without installation, no admin permission required
• Plug & play – auto activate network and run application
• In-a-box – convert your router to a zero-config SSL VPN box
• FON plug in support –  http://blog.fon.com/nl/archive/technology/neorouter-lanceert-fon-server-editie.html

and more…

However, it’s just a good start. We still have some work ahead of us before great software. We’ve been working on the Linux version and OS X version and the mobile version has been scheduled in our plan.

Please leave any questions and feedback in our community forums. NeoRouter is designed just for you once we hear of you. Thanks for supporting NeoRouter!
