A firewall you can
learn before you deploy.

THE EXPERIENCE
One product, two ways to explore.
01
BROWSER-BASED
Apricot Virtual
Registered learners enter a temporary, isolated firewall environment and complete guided tasks without touching a real network.
- Dedicated training session
- Simulated WAN and protected LAN
- Firewall, DNS and VPN exercises
- Automatic shutdown and reset
02
PHYSICAL PILOT
Apricot Appliance
The first prototype will use an x86 OptiPlex 5050 with an Intel Core i5 and 8 GB RAM. Final performance depends on the selected multi-port network card and test configuration.
- OPNsense-based evaluation build
- Local administration and configuration backup
- Policy, VPN and traffic-visibility testing
- Feedback-led development
SAFE BY DESIGN
The public site never touches your real firewall.
Apricot account→Access approval→Isolated VM→Automatic reset
Early sessions remain manually approved. The virtual lab will sit on an isolated network with no route to the NAS, Proxmox management, home network or physical Apricot prototype.
BUILD ROADMAP
Evidence before promises.
- Website & waitlistPublish the concept and collect interested testers.
- Bench prototypeAdd a supported multi-port NIC and configure the OptiPlex.
- Virtual labCreate isolated, disposable OPNsense sessions for approved accounts.
- Five-user pilotMeasure usability, throughput, recovery and update reliability.
- Compact x86 unitSelect production-candidate hardware only after results are documented.
APRICOT EARLY ACCESS
Help shape the first release.
Create a separate Apricot account. Your portal will show virtual-lab availability and provide the launch control when isolated sessions are enabled.
