Untangle – firewall distribution

Untangle’s Firewall filters traffic based on IP address, protocol and ports and allows administrators to designate which systems and services (http, ftp, etc.) are publicly available, create a DMZ and perform NAT (with Router), and run as a transparent bridge to complement existing hardware.

Untangle is much more than a firewall. It is, in fact, a Linux distribution that includes a host of software written by other developers.

Software includes a Web Filter, Spam Blocker, Spyware Blocker, Virus Blocker, Phish Blocker, Instrusion Prevention, Attack Blocker, OpenVPN, Router, Untangle Reports, and Untangle Platform.

Features include:

• Blocks sessions based on simple rules.
• Rules can be based on a variety of attributes.
• Custom logging, blocking or passing rules can be created by:
  • protocol.
  • direction.
  • source address.
  • destination address.
  • source port.
  • destination port.
