About

CacheGuard-OS is a free, open-source Linux-based network security appliance OS that turns any standard x86 machine into a UTM gateway. It sits between your devices and your ISP router, becoming the checkpoint for all internet traffic — no IT team required. Open-source since its first release, CacheGuard-OS includes: stateful firewall, web antivirus (ClamAV), URL filtering, SSL inspection, WAF (ModSecurity), VPN server (StrongSwan), web cache (Squid), QoS (IPRoute2), and WAN load balancing. It installs on bare metal or any common hypervisor in under an hour. Configuration is handled through a web-based admin interface with no command-line expertise needed. Built for small businesses, schools, and sysadmins who need production-grade network security on commodity hardware.

About

Nexthop AI’s software portfolio is part of a broader infrastructure platform designed to build highly efficient networking systems for large-scale artificial intelligence and cloud environments. It focuses on creating tightly integrated networking hardware and solutions that support the demanding requirements of hyperscale data centers used for AI training and inference workloads. Rather than offering generic networking products, Nexthop works closely with cloud operators to co-develop customized infrastructure tailored to their specific deployments, including network operating systems, switching hardware, optical and electrical interconnects, and software components optimized for large AI clusters. Its stack is designed to integrate with open network operating systems such as SONiC while adding reliability, performance tuning, and operational features needed for hyperscale environments.
