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.
