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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Very easy to adjust the VPN location and works all the time. Speed is also not an issue, the connection is very stable
  • It does everything you need a VPN to do, and it seamlessly works on my android device. Definitely like how fast it connects.
  • ExpressVPN remains the boss of all the VPNs out there. It is feature packed, provides safety at best and access to the all the content.
  • ExpressVPN has a plentiful selection of servers/locations to choose from. This creates options if one town in a country might be running slower than another. It has the easiest interface and the sleekest design of any other VPN on the market making it a go-to choice for my company.
  • The app is easy to use and set up is simple. It lets you know when you are connected to their servers and are safe. Great way to keep data safe from others on the same network, such as public areas. Great for when you need it.

Cons

  • Nothing really, because it works with multiple device types too.
  • I don't have anything that I would change with this software.
  • A little expensive otherwise no problem encountered.
  • It is a slightly higher price than other options on the market. I find the price justifiable based on the benefits I receive, but this could be a make or break for some.
  • As with any vpn you run all your traffic through their servers. Says they don't track your data but they still could.
