Boosting Your Network Security and Performance with Radius Proxy Servers

Boosting Your Network Security and Performance with Radius Proxy Servers

Are you looking for a way to improve your organisation’s network authentication security, reliability, and performance? Look no further than radius proxy servers! By sitting between the client and radius server, these servers provide an additional layer of protection, help prevent attacks, and improve redundancy, scalability, and performance. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the benefits of using radius proxy servers and why they should be a crucial part of your IT infrastructure.

Radius servers are essential to many organisations’ IT infrastructure, providing a central point for managing network access and authentication. However, as with any critical component of an IT system, there are potential risks associated with relying solely on a single radius server. This is where the use of radius proxy servers comes in.

FreeRADIUS high availability Made possible with NGINX Load Balancing

FreeRADIUS high availability Made possible with NGINX Load Balancing

FreeRADIUS is a popular open-source RADIUS server that provides centralized AAA (authentication, authorization and accounting) services for network access. It can handle a large number of concurrent sessions and can be used for various purposes, including wireless network authentication and VPN access.

In my previous post, I talked about how to build a high-performance and high-availability radius cluster. Using NGINX for load balancing is core to that design.

Load balancing is a crucial aspect of any network infrastructure, and it is even more critical when it comes to authentication and authorization systems like FreeRADIUS, where unavailability can result in the inability to connect to key networks or systems. Load balancing helps distribute the workload across multiple servers, improving performance and ensuring high availability.
