Current Prosafe VPN firewalls end-of-life?
Have seen some other posters say that support has told them the current FVS devices are end of life (FVS318Gv2, FVS336Gv3, SRX5308)? Is this confirmed? Are there plans for a refresh?
My current company has several of these devices at client locations, would like to know if we should be replacing them soon

Hi,
as far as I know, all Netgear VPN and UTM Firewalls are End of Life. I'm Netgear Powershift partner and the only information I have is that Netgear support told me that they have no information if there will be future products in this hardware category.
I'm still waiting for an official statement from my Netgear partner contact person. As soon as I know something I will let you know...
Netgear should at least take the VPN routers off their website if they are no longer selling them. And maybe tell their dealers too? Amazon says shipping in 1 to 2 months.
Thanks for sharing the information you got. In order for this concern about whether the NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Firewall product line is EOL or not, I have already inquired this to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support for confirmation. I will post in this thread as soon as I get a feedback.

Yeah, I knew the UTM devices were EOL, and I had figured for a while that the VPN firewalls would be up next. They haven't received any substantial updates in a long while.
I wonder if the backstory on the VPNs is the same as the UTMs; "it's too haaard" ;)
