UserGate Proxy & Firewall is a versatile network management tool that offers complete control over network and user access. With support for VPN, application control, anti-virus, URL filtering, DHCP, and Bandwidth Manager, it is a complete security solution.
One of the key features of UserGate is its ability to operate as a point of entry to the Internet for local networks, thanks to its NAT and application-layer proxy capabilities. This allows for easy sharing of Internet access among employees and lets you manage bandwidth to prevent traffic congestion and optimize existing Internet connections.
Moreover, UserGate boasts two antivirus engines that check all incoming traffic, including e-mail, HTTP, and FTP, for malware. You can choose to integrate one or both of these engines into your UserGate installation to ensure maximum protection. Additionally, UserGate incorporates a firewall that effectively guards against intrusions.
In terms of Internet access policies, UserGate gives you full control over what sites your employees can access through its integrated BrightCloud Service, which allows you to apply web filters. Furthermore, the application filtering module lets you manage Internet access for network applications installed on client machines.
UserGate provides comprehensive reports within the program, as well as remote access to reports via a web browser. With DHCP server support, you can make UserGate dynamically assign IP addresses in your local network, while the resource publishing feature enables external access to corporate Internet resources such as Web, FTP, or mail servers.
In summary, UserGate is a powerful and cost-effective alternative to relying on large and expensive hardware or software solutions for sharing Internet access and protecting local networks. It offers a wide range of features that enable effective traffic management, malware protection, and policy enforcement, all while remaining flexible and user-friendly.
