Anaheim, California, November 27, 2025 – Zyxel Networks, a leader in delivering secure and AI-powered cloud networking solutions, today announced that its USG FLEX 50HP firewall has been honored with a prestigious Taiwan Excellence Award 2026. This latest accolade also brings the Zyxel Group’s total Taiwan Excellence Awards to over 100 wins, underscoring its long-standing commitment to innovation. The Taiwan Excellence Award, held on November 26 in Taipei, recognize products that create new value through innovation. Established by the Ministry of Economic Affairs in 1993, this year nearly 1,000 entries were judged on their achievements in R&D, design, quality, and marketing, with only 336 receiving the honor. This recognition validates the USG FLEX 50HP’s comprehensive strength as a top-tier product representing Taiwan’s innovative spirit.

Unlike most hybrid firewalls that treat cloud and on-premises security as separate entities, the USG FLEX 50HP firewall unifies them into one seamless solution. This is achieved through its industry-leading Smart Sync feature, which synchronizes security policies, network objects, and high availability settings across both platforms. This ensures consistent protection and streamlines management. Its rich set of security features provides comprehensive protection against ever-increasing cyber threats, while its friendly pricing empowers small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and managed service providers (MSPs) with enterprise-grade security without compromising budget, making advanced network protection attainable for a wider range of businesses.
Garnering recognitions from experts worldwide
Beyond this esteemed Taiwan Excellence Award, the USG FLEX 50HP has consistently earned accolades from experts globally. It was recently named Security Hardware of the Year in the UK’s PC Pro Excellence Awards 2025. In Germany, thousands of professional users rated Zyxel Networks as the Champion in both Network Firewall and VPN categories in the recent Techconsult Professional User Rating (PUR) survey 2026. Further cementing its reputation, the USG FLEX H series outperformed competitors in third-party evaluations conducted by the Tolly Group in the United States, underscoring the strong reputation of Zyxel Networks’ security firewalls among IT professionals.
“The USG FLEX 50HP firewall is a testament to our dedication to delivering advanced and accessible security solutions,” said Ken Tsai, President of Zyxel Networks. “This Taiwan Excellence Award, alongside other recent honors, validates our efforts to empower SMBs and MSPs globally with robust, user-friendly, and cost-effective protection against evolving cyber threats.
Further reinforcing its commitment to secure the global digital landscape, the Zyxel Group recently became the first in Taiwan’s networking industry to join the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST). This membership further strengthens Zyxel Networks’ focus on providing robust security solutions and its dedication to collaborating with the cybersecurity community to combat evolving threats.

New partnership delivers simple and easy WireGuard VPN service to USG FLEX H Series firewall customers at no additional cost
ANAHEIM, California (June 26, 2025) Zyxel Networks, a leader in delivering secure, AI- and cloud-powered business and home networking solutions, today announced a new partnership with Tailscale, the leading identity-native connectivity platform. This integration brings simplified, scalable, and secure VPN connectivity to Zyxel Networks’ USG FLEX H Series firewalls, empowering small businesses and advanced users to build private, peer-to-peer networks with ease and at no additional cost.
Now available on Zyxel Networks USG FLEX H Series firewalls running uOS v1.32 and above, Tailscale’s WireGuard-based mesh VPN network is fully integrated into the firewall’s management interface. Once enabled, users can set up secure remote access in minutes without the need for complex configurations.
Streamlined VPN experience
The USG FLEX H Series firewalls now support a full suite of VPN protocols, including IPSec, SSL and WireGuard, to secure a wider range of use cases and endpoints. The Tailscale integration allows users to take advantage of a streamlined setup experience, which requires no server configuration or port forwarding. Devices automatically connect to the private network upon a few simple clicks, making the process accessible even to those with minimal networking experience.
Protected access control
With the Tailscale integration, firewall users can now create a peer-to-peer mesh network where devices communicate directly with each other via encrypted tunnels, instead of routing through a central server. This architecture reduces latency, boosts performance and scales efficiently as businesses grow. Furthermore, the service supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, as well as embedded devices, and cloud services directly, allowing firewall users to extend VPN protection across all major endpoints–including mobile devices and BYOD environments.
For added convenience and security, users can log in to Tailscale using their existing identity providers such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Okta, OneLogin, or JumpCloud. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) can also be implemented through these accounts, providing an extra layer of protection while simplifying access control and user management.
“VPNs are essential for protecting data and supporting hybrid workforces, but they have often been too complex for smaller organizations with limited IT resources,” said Ken Tsai, President of Zyxel Networks. “This integration is the answer our customers have been asking for a simpler, faster and smarter way to enable secure connections across all their devices, wherever they are.”
“VPNs have a reputation for being slow, painful to set up, and impossible to manage. We started Tailscale to fix that, and now we’re excited to bring that simplicity to more people through our partnership with Zyxel Networks,” said Avery Pennarun, co-founder and CEO of Tailscale. “Zyxel’s reach in the SMB market means we can help a lot more teams skip the ‘VPN headache and just get back to work—securely.”
As part of the partnership’s launch, Zyxel Networks is offering eligible USG FLEX H Series customers free access to Tailscale’s Starter Plan. For more information, please visit https://community.zyxel.com/en/discussion/29583
