VyOS acquires Accel-PPP to drive open-source networks

VyOS Networks has announced the acquisition of Accel-PPP, Inc., a vendor of a high-performance VPN, PPPoE and IPoE server application for Linux, to advance open-source networking.

The acquisition enables VyOS Networks to expand its open-source offerings while helping VyOS provide a powerful, unified, cohesive platform for managing multiple VPN protocols alongside PPPoE and IPoE.

VyOS Networks will now lead the development of the open-source Accel-PPP project already used in the VyOS network operating system and bring its broadband access server and VPN capabilities to more users and integrators.

With Accel-PPP’s all-in-one architecture, VyOS delivers an integrated offering that combines widely-used VPN protocols such as PPTP, L2TP, and SSTP, and broadband access technologies such as PPPoE and IPoE, into a single application. This streamlined approach removes the need for multiple applications, simplifying configuration, management, and monitoring for network administrators.

The acquisition aims to accelerate the open-source networking ecosystem forward, reduce complexity and improve efficiency in managing multi-protocol VPN servers while making advanced networking tools more accessible to businesses of all sizes.

Yuriy Andamasov, CEO of VyOS Networks, commented, “Adding Accel-PPP’s versatile and high-performance technology to the VyOS suite enables us to offer a comprehensive, scalable solution that meets the growing demand for adaptable and secure connectivity. This acquisition underscores our commitment to broadening our open-source capabilities and delivering innovative, community-driven solutions to our customers.”

According to VyOS, Accel-PPP’s modular architecture and advanced features—including multi-threaded processing, RADIUS integration, and extensive support for IPv6—align seamlessly with its vision of providing secure, transparent, and custom networking.
