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.

GuardX:
About
GuardX is a web-based reverse-proxy service that places a security and delivery layer in front of websites and APIs. It combines a web application firewall with managed and custom traffic rules, CDN caching, automatically renewing TLS certificates, and mitigation for HTTP and HTTPS denial-of-service attacks. Administrators configure the service through a dashboard and route traffic by changing DNS records, without modifying application code. GuardX is intended for businesses, developers, and online communities operating public websites or APIs that need traffic filtering, caching, and edge protection. The operator is based in Germany, customer traffic is served from servers in the Netherlands, and edge logs are retained in the EU, details relevant to organizations assessing where traffic and operational data are handled.
