THE NETFORTRESS FAMILY

Beyond the firewall

The NetFortress appliance defends your network — Pulse, Cast, Vault and Home are its companions, covering how that network is watched, displayed, documented and automated.

NetFortress Pulse

Pulse

by NetFortress
Live telemetry

Every device, address and security event on one live screen — real-time monitoring for your whole network, at a glance.

NetFortress Cast

Cast

by NetFortress
Screens & signage

Put your network on the wall — dashboards, alerts and status screens cast to TVs and signage around your business or home.

NetFortress Vault

Vault

by NetFortress
Document control

Policies, certificates and network documents kept under lock — versioned, access controlled and always in reach.

NetFortress

Home

by NetFortress
Home automation

Your network, at work when you are not — lights, energy, security and scenes automated from the appliance that already knows every device.

WHAT YOU GET

Complete network protection, out of the box

🛡

Stateful firewall & NAT

Connection tracking, default-deny forwarding, anti-spoofing, port-scan quarantine and rate limiting — applied through guarded, reversible transactions.

🌐

DNS filtering & ad blocking

Curated blocklists and category feeds compiled into the local resolver. Blocked names go to your branded block page — with one-click access requests.

🎬

Web & application control

Category cards for social, streaming, ads and more. Untick one service inside a group without unblocking the rest. Related-domain scanning closes the loopholes.

👁

IDS / IPS

Suricata deep packet inspection with the ET Open signature feed — tens of thousands of attack signatures, updated daily, with queue-bypass so inspection never becomes an outage.

🌍

GeoIP country policy

Judge inbound connections by country with locally maintained address sets. Allow-list mode: only the countries you choose can connect in at all.

🔒

HTTPS block page

Encrypted sites get your branded block page too — the appliance serves it over its own TLS with a manageable certificate.

👥

Users, groups & devices

Per-account permissions, device inventories with honest online/offline states, one-click device blocking by name, IP and MAC together, time-based schedules.

📊

Reports & API

Security events, blocked-traffic reports, full audit trail, CSV export — plus a documented REST API with scoped tokens for integrators.
