Hi Adrian,

You can download the zip file using below link:

http://www.vfense.org/download/current-zip/

or you can directly download from our github:

https://github.com/toppatch/vFense/releases

Though, we will recommend use the git clone method for the server install and clone it from the development branch. This is up-to-date and have lots of fixes.

Let us know if you find any issue in server installation.

Thanks.
