Hi @SandB,

Yes, even after the Entry Defense Pack license expires, your USG FLEX H series device can still function as a basic firewall and router.

Here’s what remains functional:

1. MONITOR
   • System Statistics
   • Network Status
   • VPN Status
2. CONFIGURATION
   • Network
   • VPN
   • Security Policy
   • Object
   • User & Authentication
   • System
   • Log & Report (except SecuReporter)
3. MAINTENANCE
   • Maintenance

So while the core network functions remain available, licensed security features like threat protection will no longer work. You can still use the device securely with manual policies, but we recommend renewing the license for full protection.
