DrayTek Vigor3912S router is a cutting-edge solution designed to meet the demands of modern enterprise networks. Its excellent performance and security features, including the Suricata Intrusion Detection System and Smart Action, make it a standout choice for businesses seeking to safeguard their networks from potential security breaches.
The Vigor3912S is powered by a 2GHz Quad-Core CPU, ensuring fast and reliable connection speeds even with multiple devices connected. It supports eight configurable WAN/LAN interfaces, including two 10G SFP+ ports for fibre connectivity, two 2.5G Ethernet ports, and four 1G Ethernet ports. This flexibility allows network administrators to optimise performance based on specific networking needs and circumstances.
In addition to the comprehensive hardware specifications, the Vigor3912S is equipped with a 256GB solid-state drive (SSD) pre-installed with Ubuntu OS and Docker applications such as Suricata and VigorConnect. Running VigorConnect from the Vigor3912S simplifies network management by allowing it to monitor DrayTek devices without requiring an additional server.
Here are some of the key security benefits of the Vigor3912S router:
Suricata Intrusion Detection and Prevention System:
The Vigor3912S integrates with Suricata, an open-source intrusion detection system that monitors network traffic for suspicious activity and potential security threats. Suricata provides real-time protection against malicious activities and unauthorised access attempts so businesses can stay one step ahead of cyber threats. When the system detects unplanned threats, they are recorded by the log feature, blocked by the router’s “Smart Action” feature, and network administrators can be notified of the incidents.
The Suricata Statistical Graph summarises the frequency of threats. When the mouse hovers over the icon representing the most frequent threat, a small pop-up note will display the number of occurrences of that threat. Moreover, clicking on any point in the graph will bring up more details.
Linux Application – VigorConnect (Vigor3912S Only)
The Vigor3912S router supports Docker applications such as VigorConnect directly on the device. This capability simplifies network management by allowing VigorConnect to monitor DrayTek devices without requiring an additional computer. The installation process is straightforward and can be completed through the router’s web user interface (WUI) with just a few clicks. This feature provides a convenient and efficient solution for network administrators to oversee and manage their network infrastructure.
Smart Action Feature
The Vigor3912S router’s Smart Action feature allows automatic actions based on predefined security events. Whether blocking specific IP addresses, triggering alerts or enforcing access control policies, Smart Action empowers administrators to preplan responses to security incidents without manual intervention, enhancing the network’s overall security.
Action types available in Smart Action include:

Firewall and Content Filtering Feature
The Vigor3912S’s built-in firewall and advanced security protocols protect the network against cyber threats to keep sensitive data and network infrastructure secure.
The Vigor3912S features an object-based firewall that allows administrators to set up detailed security policies. Its web content filter blocks access to pre-designated insecure or inappropriate websites, ensuring a safe browsing environment for all users.
Additionally, the IP Reputation feature analyses the reputation of IP addresses attempting to connect to the router. It then blocks any IP identified as associated with known malicious activity. This helps prevent attacks from known malicious IP addresses and reduces the risk of security breaches.
Other key benefits of using the Vigor3912S router for a business are:
Quality of Service (QoS) Feature
With the Vigor3912S’s QoS support, you can effectively prioritise and manage network traffic so critical applications and services always receive the necessary bandwidth and resources.
Advanced VPN Feature
The Vigor3912S supports up to 500 concurrent VPN tunnels, making it ideal for businesses with many remote workers or multiple branch offices. It offers several VPN protocols and connection types, including LAN-to-LAN and remote dial-in VPNs, to ensure secure and efficient communication across various networking environments.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide two forms of identification before gaining access to the network. It ensures that legitimate remote dial-in users can be authenticated and provided with secure VPN connections while illegitimate connection requests will fail.
Intuitive Management Interface
The Vigor3912S offers a user-friendly management interface, making configuration and monitoring of the networks easy and intuitive to minimise technical errors.
Scalability and Reliability
Built for scalability, the Vigor3912S has plenty of flexible features and growth options for network expansion when the business grows and network traffic increases without compromising performance and reliability.
Cost-Effective Solution
The Vigor3912S offers a cost-effective networking solution and delivers superb performance, security, and reliability by streamlining its network infrastructure and optimising resource utilisation.

Configurable WAN/LAN Ports
12 Ports in total
8 ports from a total of 12 ports, can be configured as either a LAN port or a WAN interface. For example, the following port options are achievable:
- 8 x WAN interfaces and 4 x LAN Ports or
- 1 x WAN interface and 11 LAN Ports
Advanced VPN Features
VPN from LAN
This feature offers a more secure method for connecting to servers by restricting LAN clients’ access to LAN servers through a VPN only. This ensures that data transmission between LAN clients and servers is encrypted, protecting critical data and enhancing overall security.
VPN User Isolation
Activating a VPN connection to access a company’s internet for work has become a common routine for many employees.
Teleworkers need to connect to the company’s servers through VPN connections. However, it is often unnecessary for VPN users to access each other, which may pose security risks. By enabling the “Isolate VPN Users from each other” option, you can ensure that each VPN user is isolated and the VPN network is more secure.
2FA with AD/LDAP Server
Enhance the security of remote dial-in VPN connections with two-factor authentication integrated with AD/LDAP servers. DrayTek offers various authentication methods, including TOTP, email, SMS, and URL links. This approach not only adds an extra layer of security but also helps reduce costs associated with SMS messages and official authentication system license fees.
Packet Capture Tool for VPN Tunnel
By either mirroring all packets to the designated LAN port or VPN connection, whether LAN to LAN profile or remote Dial-in users and even downloading PCAP files via WUI remotely and spotting an issue is easier than ever.
Server Load Balancing
For organizations that host multiple servers in their network, a policy of server load balance can be configured, such that the router can distribute the inbound NAT sessions evenly for the servers based on the configured load balance weight. This will avoid excessive load on a single server, prevent server failure due to overloading, and optimise resource usage .
Port Knocking
The Port Redirection function is often used to allow the internal servers to be accessible from the Internet. However, the opened ports present security threats as these can be scanned by hackers and malware. Vigor3912 series employ Port Knocking, a technology that adds an extra layer of protection to the internal servers, by allowing only users with a matching password to open the port and be connected to the server, effectively closing the door for unauthorized accesses.
