CacheGuard Web Gateway allows you to decide what type of Web content is allowed in your organization, by whom and when.

The Web Gateway works as a transparent or explicit Web proxy and instantly blocks malware and other unwanted contents such as ads and adult websites in Web traffic. Its SSL mediation mode allows to block malware even in an encrypted format (HTTPS) and/or cache bandwidth-intensive traffic such as YouTube or Windows updates in order to save your bandwidth.

CacheGuard Web Gateway is distributed as an open source OS called CacheGuard-OS that you can install on a virtual or hardware machine of your choice. Once installed on a machine, CacheGuard-OS transforms that machine into a network appliance to implement as a gateway to the internet. In addition to the Web Gateway, CacheGuard-OS includes multitude of other services such as VPN, WAF and WAN optimization.

CacheGuard products are especially designed to address SME requirements by providing functional solutions.

  • Excellent :-)
  • Excellent and easy to implement web proxy solution! We've implemented this proxy for about 10 of our best clients and gave them the access to the it's web admin interface. They are really happy to be able to manage it by themselves without being a security expert. We recommend this as a remote (in the cloud) or on-premise proxy. It's a worth installing it in a VM and evaluate by yourself!
  • I implemented Cacheguard for one of our clients the last week and it takes me 2 hours only! I give 5 stars for the ease of use but you should be aware that you need basic network skills to implement Cacheguard as a transparent gateway into your network. My client needed the following: - A firewall, - A proxy cache, - A reverse proxy, - A load balancer, - And redundancy for the HA I didn't activated the WAF or other features so my note should be limited to features above. I recommend it!
