About

Block web threats before they hit the network - secure your network traffic without additional proxy servers or on-premise appliances. Filter web traffic and keep unwanted malware away from networks. Secure Web Gateway is simple to deploy and manage across multiple locations, and can be set up in minutes. Devices are automatically directed to the nearest data center for lightning-fast connections from anywhere in the world. Our threat network is geographically dispersed with over 100 data centers, on five different continents, and draws from dozens of top threat feeds that act as vigilant security guards, observing, processing, and reporting on around 30 billion requests per day. When an uncategorized web address is accessed via Secure Web Gateway, the site gets inspected for threats and categorized into one of dozens of categories, resulting in constant updates to the whole security network.

About

CacheGuard-OS is a free, open-source Linux-based network security appliance OS that turns any standard x86 machine into a UTM gateway. It sits between your devices and your ISP router, becoming the checkpoint for all internet traffic — no IT team required. Open-source since its first release, CacheGuard-OS includes: stateful firewall, web antivirus (ClamAV), URL filtering, SSL inspection, WAF (ModSecurity), VPN server (StrongSwan), web cache (Squid), QoS (IPRoute2), and WAN load balancing. It installs on bare metal or any common hypervisor in under an hour. Configuration is handled through a web-based admin interface with no command-line expertise needed. Built for small businesses, schools, and sysadmins who need production-grade network security on commodity hardware.
