Zyxel VPN50 — End-of-Life & EOSL Dates
Zyxel has published end-of-life dates for the VPN50 on its business end-of-life list. End of Sale and End of Life are taken from Zyxel's own end-of-life data, linked below. Zyxel defines End of Life as the date all support services for the hardware and its firmware cease.
Every tracked Zyxel VPN50 SKU group is past Zyxel end of service life (last group Mar 2025). Units in production should be treated as unsupported. For past-EOSL units, weigh third-party maintenance, spares, replacement, or a documented run-to-failure. Zyxel’s named migration path: USG FLEX 100.

Options from here
The Zyxel VPN50 is past Zyxel end of service life. These are the paths teams take from here:
Keep it in production past the OEM cutoff with an independent maintainer.
Buy spares now, while units still circulate on the secondary market.
It is unsupported today. Set a migration timeline and budget.
Low-criticality role: document the risk, harden backups, retire on your terms.
Independent and informational. EOSL.ai sells no hardware and no maintenance, and lists no paid placements. Third-party maintenance keeps unsupported gear in production past the OEM cutoff; whether it fits depends on the role the asset plays.
