NETGEAR Armor Linux Clients

Some of my home machines are running Ubuntu Linux.  Does the NETEAR Armor have a client for Linux Laptops?  It is not that different from Android.

    mrbeams - NETGEAR Armor does not have a client for linux. I can forward this info to our product teams for review.

      Thanks Christian,

        I am familiar from BitDefender and I was aware of their product https://www.bitdefender.com/support/bitdefender-endpoint-security-tools-for-linux-best-practices-1671.html and hoped it might be included.  One other thing for Armor I would suggest.  On devices that do have Protection services running, I wish Armor did not try to get me to switch,  My company uses McAfee and I have another business computer that uses Norton.  Both have endpoint security and are tightly managed but the lac of Armor "lowers" my network score, incorrectly.

      Did this suggestion gain any legs? I too have several Linux machines in my home network and would appreciate a Linux client.

        I did not pursue as I only have One Linux box.

  • I would be greatly interested in this as well. Bitdefender already provides clients for several popular distros. I think now it is an issue of properly including a license file.
