OpenBSD encourages companies and independent developers to create products for use with OpenBSD, or based on OpenBSD itself.

Commercial support for OpenBSD is available from vendors listed on our support page.


Products based on OpenBSD


  • nCircle Network Security
    nCircle Network Security (formerly Hiverworld) enables comprehensive network security, going beyond intrusion detection to provide intelligent intrusion prevention. Its patent-pending IP360 solution delivers continuous, non-invasive vulnerability assessment combined with full wire-speed traffic monitoring and intrusion analysis. nCircle has chosen the OpenBSD Operating System for its Scanning Sensor, Intrusion Sensor and Console Engine which all run on a secure, network appliance.

  • RTMX
    RTMX sells a version of OpenBSD which has a full complement of POSIX real-time features added to it. They have graciously donated the source code for these extensions, and these changes will be integrated into OpenBSD soon.

  • syscall Network Solutions
    Syscall Network Solutions produces the syswall security appliance based on OpenBSD. The syswall Security Appliance contains a stateful packet-filtering firewall, an intrusion detection system and VPN capabilities even with dynamic IP addresses. It was specifically designed for Managed Security Services and Managed Security Monitoring offered by our IT Security Experts. It is also possible to use the syswall as DSL or cable router as it supports PPPoE and DHCP.

  • GeNUA
    GeNUA mbH, a company based in Munich, Germany, offers sophisticated IT security solutions based on OpenBSD: The two-tier GeNUGate system is the only firewall certified by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) at E3 / high level under the ITSEC international standard. The crypto appliance GeNUBox was developed for remote control of machines via the Internet. Among others, an important function of this GeNUA product is to set up SSH-encrypted tunnels for data transmission via the Internet and to provide an integrated application platform.
