Welcome to our Network Engineering Community News!
If you’re new here, welcome. This monthly update goes out to everyone who has used or trialed FastNetMon. In February, we were at APRICOT in Jakarta and NANOG in San Francisco, rolled out major web updates, and kicked off a new community initiative, while also covering key industry developments. Enjoy the read.

February event highlights: NANOG & APRICOT
NANOG 92 in San Francisco was a strong event for us, with plenty of good conversations and time spent with the operator community. Pavel Odintsov presented an official session on the FastNetMon community and how the project has evolved over more than a decade of open-source development and real-world DDoS detection. Watch the full talk on our YouTube, read NANOG’s blog feature, and check out our detailed event recap.
APRICOT 2026 in Jakarta was equally great for us, meeting customers and partners across the APAC region and discussing DDoS detection, network visibility, and operational challenges. Read our event recap for highlights, and browse our YouTube Shorts for conference moments and behind-the-scenes clips.
Big updates to FastNetMon interfaces
Our new FastNetMon website is now live, with clearer navigation, polished documentation, and updated visuals that make it easier to find what you need.
Later this year, we’ll launch the new FastNetMon web interface — one of the biggest product upgrades since FastNetMon was first released. It’s designed around how operators actually work: clearer traffic visibility, real-time attack context, hostgroup-level views, and dashboards that reduce guesswork when traffic deviates from normal. This isn’t just a visual refresh; it’s about making network data easier to see, interpret, and act on.
Spotlighting the operators who keep networks running
We’re exploring a FastNetMon Community Awards initiative to recognise the operators who quietly keep networks online — and we’d like your input before we move forward.
If we launch it, which award category should we include?
