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

  • I have been looking for a long time for a solution that allows me to control the creation of consolidate tickets. I have long been forced to buy several solutions. It is really an intelligent and efficient design. I even control the cameras, the smart sockets of the company and my clients, this complete biggest solution we use to do the job.

Cons

  • I had to understand the concept which is different from all the solutions used until now so there is a time of adaptation but once you understand the concept it is super simple and super effective you still have to read the prerequisites carefully otherwise we miss the concept.
