OVPNbox v2 was released!
Containing a lot of improvements and better hardware we released OVPNbox v2 to the world. Almost a thousand units were sold to OVPN.com customers.
Vilfo is created by the team behind OVPN.com, but is an entirely independent company. Years ago, we started the development of a product called OVPNbox - which was a router based on pfSense.
We learned a lot by building OVPNbox, and several lessons were tough. Vilfo is the result of all that learning.
The software for Vilfo was released to OVPNbox owners in January 2018. Their feedback and experience was be the basis on further improvements until we shipped all pre-orders in May 2018.
Vilfo AB is located in Stockholm, Sweden. The team consists of Alexander Koval, Nikolay Nizruhin, Andy Tsymbal, Tamas Szabo, Maximilian Holm, Ruben Rehn & David Wibergh.
The predecessor of Vilfo, OVPNbox v1, was shipped to customers in May 2015. It was based on pfSense and ran on a Shuttle DS61.
Containing a lot of improvements and better hardware we released OVPNbox v2 to the world. Almost a thousand units were sold to OVPN.com customers.
We went through about 20 different designs. This was one of the final designs we played with.
Onboarded the first OVPNbox customers to beta test the Vilfo software.
The final product design was selected and CAD models were created to be able to create the first prototypes.
With great affection we were able to hold Vilfo in our hands for the first time.
