Case Study: TextNow achieves scalable partner VPN connectivity with VyOS

TextNow earns 4.8/5 VPN support with VyOS

TextNow, a provider of free wireless service and mobile app-based communication, required robust and scalable VPN connectivity to interconnect with diverse messaging partners. Their challenge was a lack of customization, partner compatibility issues, and operational rigidity from proprietary hardware that prevented them from implementing bespoke failover logic and automation scripts. They turned to VyOS for a solution using its network OS and VPN services.

The solution implemented by VyOS provided the open-source flexibility TextNow needed. They deployed VyOS to initiate IPsec VPN tunnels and used custom scripts to manage the VPN lifecycle and automate failover workflows. This resulted in more resilient operations, a faster ability to accommodate new partner requirements, and less dependency on vendor limitations. VyOS gave TextNow greater control and adaptability across their partner networking.
