Features

Here is a list of some of the unique features nEdge provides:

  • Secure DNS to block malicious domains

  • Provide fair bandwidth share between LAN devices

  • Block/throttle undesired protocols

  • Create users to group device together and assign block/bandwidth limit policies

  • Protect children from inappropriate content

  • Define per-user and per-protocol time/traffic quotas

  • Define customized routing policies with failover and load balance

  • Assisted monitoring device configuration

Moreover, since nEdge is based on the well known monitoring software ntopng, a lot more interesting features are available:

  • Malware hosts detection by the means of blacklists

  • Active discovery and classification of the active devices in the network

  • Accurate L7 traffic classification thanks to nDPI

  • Many traffic insights, for example per user, country, operating system views

  • Per host/device flows view

  • Traffic reports and charts of the past traffic

  • Alerts system with slack integration

Some of the ntopng features, however, are not available in nEdge:

  • No traffic profiles

  • No ability to read data from nProbe (e.g. NetFlow/sFlow data)

  • No LDAP integration

  • No SNMP devices monitoring

Warning

Currently, IPv6 traffic is neither handled nor forwarded by nEdge. IPv6 traffic is never forwarded to LAN or WAN devices.
