2. Setup user VPN using 2FA and installed mobile phone using google authentication, all installed with very easy and good UI to understand the function. Management for the TOTP user also very easy within a minute’s admin can understand what should they do when need to using 2FA. This 2FA was very simple, so cool and no additional cost for company who like to use SSL VPN for they remote-worker, I recommend this feature to my customers, and they accept this feature happily.
3. Testing SSL VPN using MS Windows 7/8/10/11 installed EasyConnect was smooth no problem found. Admin GUI and SSLVPN features was awesome, what admin expected for user policy was shown perfectly and Users GUI was perfectly simple and easy for users to know what they can use and to understood.

-------------------------------------------- Second Prize --------------------------------------------

-Winner: @ DominicHendro @cuputraerwin @jetjetd @Alaa El Habash
-A Gift to Get: $100 Shopping Voucher
-Reason for Reward: submitted 3 effective suggestions

-Suggestions:
1. Suggestions for NGAF for the future to boot reboot so that it is faster and replacing the HDD to SSD so that the Sangfor Performance is better. So far the Sangfor NGAF testing 8.0.47 Beta is good and features running normally.
2. On the device I suggest that the HDMI port is added, if the device's constraint causes it cannot be accessed via IP Address can see the display and check using the monitor screen.
3. I really like the features, namely SSL VPN 2FA support Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator because of security in my opinion it's very good.
4. I also like the Features Security Log Export because it is very helpful to see the log and if there is a problem that happens can be seen clearly on the log that can be downloaded to Excel.   --from Dominic Hendro
1. On Login Page
There is Community and Telephone information number.
Maybe this is minor issue, but the telephone number only show +60 where is Malaysia number.
As I know Sangfor already have representative in Indonesia.
Maybe in my opinion If Sangfor want to achieve respect and trust from Indonesia customer.
It's better to also put Indonesia representative number.
2. On Monitor - Notification Settings
I found email address is set to support@sangfor.com.
The problem is, we keep got error message each time Sangfor send alarm or notification.
On our mail server it tells us the cause is there is no support@sangfor.com account on Sangfor mail server.
Maybe this just for sample or dummy config, but I think it's better put a real Sangfor support email address.
3. On System - Maintenance
There is option to shut down or restart device. But when we need to shutdown, it only will restart the device.
The only thing to shutdown device is manual shutdown, and it's not a good procedure to force shutdown a device.  ----from cuputraerwin
1. DDNS: Limited third parties DDNS providers. We can add more providers. It is advisable to add Sangfor as a provider. ASUS can provide the same in its routers under domain x.asuscomm.com. Ability to use user’s own certificate or using Let’s Encrypt certificate free provider.
2. SSL VPN 2FA: To make the access using VPN SSL per schedule basis. To add ability to assign a specific IP for a specific user. Add RSA TLS 1.3.
3. Upgrade: When I used Updater 6.2 tool, it requested to have internet, which not always a customer has. The upgrade failed. I did the upgrade again on vAF and the upgrade was ok using upgrade UI and without internet access need!  ----from  Alaa
1. Add DDNS features to support dynamic IP environment. No issues found
->In the DNS provider option, please add Google DDNS, FreeDNS, and Sangfor DNS(this is applicable if Sangfor is also DNS provider like the other brands).
->Add an option to modify the update interval.
2. SSL VPN with 2FA supports Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator, enabling safer remote access.
->Option for automatic log out when the remote user is idle for a specific amount of time set.
3. Optimized email alarm support for Gmail, O365, Exchange, and Yahoo mail.
->Email alert is very broad and does not specify what kind of alarm is trying to notify the recipient.
->Add an email body option in the notification settings and it will state there what is the alarm all about.    ---- from  jetjetd
