Deciso OPNsense with Megaport Virtual Edge
Deciso OPNsense on Megaport’s MVE delivers open-source firewall and routing capabilities directly on Megaport’s global private SDN. By integrating OPNsense with MVE, you can deploy a feature-rich firewall and routing platform without physical hardware, shipping delays, or data center rack space.
Megaport provides the network underlay, while OPNsense manages firewall policies, VPN connections, and network routing. You use the Megaport Portal to create and order MVE instances and establish Virtual Cross Connects (VXCs) to cloud on-ramps and other services on the Megaport SDN.
