Preemptive defense by Reputation Filter
Stop 70% of common cyberattacks with Reputation Filter service without sacrificing your network performance thanks to its low computing requirement. Reputation Filter consist of IP Reputation, DNS Filter, and URL threat filter. Analyzes IP, domain, URL addresses with up-to-date cloud reputation databases and determines if addresses are safe or not. Automatically blocks access to compromised sources, providing granular protection.
Deep insights of devices
Device insight gives a centralized dashboard of your network activities and information from all connected devices. Tune your access policies based on attributes such as OS version or device categories to achieve network segmentation for limited attack surface and prevent threat from spreading. Easily trace issues and prevent future threat incidents with SecuReporter, provides comprehensive threat analysis and correlations between events.
Friendly for OS-native VPN clients
IKEv2 is a de-facto VPN protocol known for its security, reliability, and efficiency, a safer and more enhanced protocol than L2TP. It’s widely adopted so it comes with outstanding interoperability with various types of VPN clients, OS, and VPN gateways. Easy wizard ensures in-a-few-clicks compatibility with free-of-charge OS-native IKEv2 VPN clients such as Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android (via StrongSwan app).
High assurance multi-layered protection
Designed with multi-layer protection that blocks both outside malicious threats as well as internal inappropriate user behaviors. Restrict high-risk applications or web access from inside your network. Industry-leading DNS filter with TLS 1.3 eliminates all blind spots in all encrypted traffic without the need to deploy SSL inspection.

Why USG FLEX H Series?
The Zyxel USG FLEX H Series is designed to provide robust network security solutions, here are some key differences that set the USG FLEX H Series apart:
- Port Flexibility and Speed: The USG FLEX H Series features multi-gigabit speed support, ranging from 1G to 2.5G and up to 10G, providing greater capacity to accommodate growing network demands. This is particularly beneficial for businesses experiencing rapid growth or increased network traffic.
- Enhanced Performance: The USG FLEX H Series delivers a significant increase in performance, with higher throughputs for firewall, VPN, and Unified Threat Management (UTM). This includes triple performance in these areas compared to the standard competitor firewalls.
- AI-Powered Security: The H Series uses AI-driven cloud intelligence for advanced protection, including features like sandboxing, anti-malware, and DNS/IP/URL filtering. This level of security is particularly important in an era of increasing cyber threats.
- PoE+ Interfaces: The USG FLEX H Series is equipped with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) interfaces, which are not typically found in the standard USG FLEX Series. This feature allows the firewall to power other devices, adding to the flexibility and utility of the network setup.
- Effortless Management with Nebula: The H Series simplifies network management via Zyxel's Nebula Cloud, allowing for easy switching between device GUI and Nebula Control Center. This feature is ideal for businesses looking for streamlined and centralized control of their network security.
- Enhanced User Experience with uOS: The new uOS operating system in the USG FLEX H Series offers a more intuitive and user-friendly interface, which is particularly helpful for network admins who need to manage complex configurations and respond quickly to threats.
- Software-Defined Ports: The USG FLEX H Series allows more flexibility in port configuration (WAN or LAN), supported by next-generation multi-core hardware and Fastpath technology, enhancing both flexibility and performance.
