Where To Go From Bitdefender BOX 2?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello all.

As Bitdefender discontinue the Bitdefender BOX 2, I'm wondering what solution I should look at as a replacement.

I'm a simple home user, but with a bunch of iot devices, some few computers, tablets, phones, consoles, NAS (2 actually).

I was looking at an opensense on a small appliance. But I'm afraid it will only act as a standard firewall (port, nat, qos, routes....) but nothing on the "behaviour" side of the connected devices.

Any advice would be appreciate.

Thanks

Médéric

Hello.

As far as i know, your only option is to purchase NETGEAR Armor powered by Bitdefender:

https://www.netgear.com/home/services/armor/

But, wait for a reply from @Alexandru_BD or @Mike_BD, as they both work for Bitdefender and they might have some other offers for you.

Hello,

Indeed, the next best thing is NETGEAR Armor powered by Bitdefender. It's a natural evolution and a very high performance product.

Is there any chance Bitdefender will offer a discounted price on Bitdefender Box 2 renewal charge?

Every discount season I see mouth watering discounts on various Bitdefender subscriptions but never for Box 2 subscription. Are us Box 2 owners a captive nice little earner for Bitdefender or am I just jealous?

Hello @jnq35,

I recommend this link for NETGEAR Armor FAQs and features:

https://www.netgear.com/home/services/armor/resources/

In terms of account management, NETGEAR Armor powered by Bitdefender comes pre-installed on your NETGEAR router or mesh system. Simply activate it via the Orbi or Nighthawk app with a single tap.

Armor automatically updates and helps protect not only computers, but also mobile phones, smart TVs, door locks, and security cameras from being hacked.

NETGEAR Armor constantly checks for potential threats 24/7 and notifies you immediately. You can easily block suspicious devices on your network, analyze your security score, review your protection level, and get tips to keep your devices and sensitive data safe and helps ensure your Internet activity remains private.

Thank for the link. Only one thing is missing bitedefender password manager. And the biggest difference is the price of an orbi mesh system !

I'm very desapointed, because it is impossible to modify Network configuration bitdefender BOX 2 :

admin console is forbidden (Http:\\172.24.1.1)
Bitedfender Central via android smartphone is limited (message need to be connected to BITDEFENDER BOX wifi at the same time the smartphone si connected to this reseau , and none one any more)

so : paramterages impossible, et cela s'est produit apres une mis à jour silencieuse !

I think it is'nt a bug, but it is intentionnal command to force me to leaves this bitdefender box.
