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
strongSwan is an open-source implementation of the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocols for securing IP traffic with policy- and route-based IPsec virtual private networks. It supports IKEv2 and IKEv1, IPv4 and IPv6 tunnels, mobility, certificate and pre-shared-key authentication, EAP methods, and a modular plugin system for cryptography, credentials, and networking. Network administrators and developers use it to build VPN gateways and connect network endpoints, from remote-access setups to complex IPsec deployments. The core software runs on Linux and has been ported to FreeBSD, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS. An Android VPN client and a NetworkManager plugin for Linux desktops are also available. The source code is licensed under GPLv2, with commercial licensing available for most components and separate commercial support options. Documentation covers installation, configuration, features, and troubleshooting.
