Untangle Gateway Platform is a modular network gateway that features Linux-based architecture and offers various plug-ins for network operations, such as spam identification and prevention.
I recently had the chance to review the Untangle Gateway Platform and was thoroughly impressed by what it has to offer. This Linux-based network gateway comes with pluggable modules for a wide range of network applications including spam blocking, Web filtering, anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, VPN, SSL VPN, firewall, and more.
Untangle relies on over 30 of the best open source projects such as SpamAssassin, Snort, ClamAV, and OpenVPN to ensure that your network remains secure with its spam blocker, spyware blocker, and virus blocker, as well as web filtering, firewall, IPS, VPN, and more. I was particularly impressed by its "virtual pipelining" technology that allows each application to access network traffic in one singular process, thereby avoiding CPU context switches and buffer copies that would occur if each project was chained together through proxies.
The platform runs on VMWare or on dedicated standard Intel/AMD hardware and is free and open source under the GPLv2 license. The Untangle GUI is based on a virtual rack metaphor and comes pre-configured for business use, making it easy to use. The platform and 12 applications are free, including both software and signature updates.
Leveraging the best open source network software like SpamAssassin, Snort, ClamAV, and others, Untangle offers comprehensive anti-spam, anti-spyware, anti-virus, web filtering, phish blocking, DOS blocking, VPN, IPS, firewall, router, and more. Its reporting feature provides comprehensive reports for each application and meaningful logs.
Finally, I was pleased to see that the platform is designed to support future applications developed by Untangle or the community, making it a great investment for the future. All in all, the Untangle Gateway Platform is an excellent choice for any business looking for a reliable, comprehensive, and future-proof network gateway.
