We are celebrating 10 years of Lightning Wire Labs!

A whole decade where we have been working to make the Internet a safer place. Time that has been moving fast, has been full of challenges, as well as a time that has been a great success for ourselves, and our customers and partners we work with.

To say Thank You to our loyal customers, we are offering a 10% discount on all our appliances on store.lightningwirelabs.com for all of August¹.

Today, we are launching IPFire on AWS ARM-based instances, making IPFire cheaper, more versatile and more secure for all your cloud-based projects.
