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.

About

In contemporary communication infrastructures, IP-based computer networks play a prominent role. The deployment of these networks is progressing at an exponential rate as different kinds of participants such as corporations, public authorities and individuals rely on sophisticated and complex services and communication systems. With regard to information security, this leads to new challenges as large amounts of data, which may hold malicious content such as worms, viruses, or Trojans, are transferred over open networks. Network security measures dealing with these threats can be implemented in the network itself as well as at hosts connected to access routers of the network. The host-based approach has its merits, especially with respect to the scalability of a resulting security framework; for example, placing security capabilities such as firewalls or virus scanners on individual hosts does not inhibit the traffic travelling through the network.
