Release packages are available for Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS 7.
These packages are from the official “3.0.19” release, and will track all new versions of FreeRADIUS. The release packages are also integrated into our new Jenkins driven, dockerised, workflow. Packages should be available as soon as a new version has been released.
We are offering these packages as a free service to the community. Paid support is available from us at reasonable rates.
Get them from our packages site.
One reason for this service is that many Operating System vendors ship versions of FreeRADIUS that are years out of date. We believe that people should be using the most recent release, and that it is beneficial for us to offer this service.
Development packages are also available, though they should only be used in the following, limited, situations:
- You have been directed to use them by NetworkRADIUS support.
- You are experiencing issues with a stable release, and need to determine if the issue still exists in FreeRADIUS v3.0.x HEAD (the tip of the v3.0.x release branch).
- You have been asked to provide debugging information.
The development packages should not be used on production systems unless directed to by a member of the NetworkRADIUS support team.

Announcing SRADIUS
RADIUS has used MD5 for security for almost thirty years. It is time to use a modern alternative: SRADIUS! We just released an Internet-Draft which defines “Secure RADIUS”, or “SRADIUS”. We also have preliminary code available. It’s only a small change from RADIUS, but (we hope) a big leap forward in RADIUS security.
RADIUS Insecurity
RADIUS is almost thirty years old, and uses cryptography based on MD5. Given that MD5 has been broken for over a decade, what are the implications for RADIUS? Why is RADIUS still using MD5? RADIUS still uses MD5 because there are hundreds of thousands of devices which implement RADIUS.
