Product Overview

Untangle delivers an integrated family of applications that simplify and consolidate the network and security products that businesses need at the network gateway.  All Untangle apps are: 

• Pre-configured to work right away
  
• Downloadable for rapid deployment
  
• Guaranteed to be integrated and run seamlessly on the Untangle Gateway Platform
  

Open Source and Free Apps

The Untangle Server and 13 of the applications that run on it are open source and free under the GNU General Public License v2 (GPLv2). Untangle’s platform provides the GUI, logging, reporting and “virtual-pipelining” technology to make all of the apps run together smoothly. Signatures updates and software upgrades, which install automatically, are also included.

Paid Apps

These are designed for networks with advanced needs. Paid Apps include live support, advanced management features and applications for additional security, productivity and remote access.

Packages

Untangle Apps are also available in packages that are tailored to particular customers. We have combined select free and paid apps with the Untangle Gateway, to provide the most complete, yet cost-effective offerings for our customers.

Deployment Options

Untangle has 3 network deployment options:

Router:  Dedicated server that performs routing & firewall services

Transparent Bridge:  Dedicated server that drops seamlessly behind existing routers & firewalls

Re-Router™:  Adds network-wide protection while running on an existing desktop  (runs on Windows)

Supported Platforms 

Untangle runs on standard hardware as a bare-metal install, or on Windows XP or Vista, or in VMware.

Hardware Requirements 

Untangle runs on generic Intel/AMD hardware.  A Pentium III processor, 2 NICs and 512MB of RAM is the min spec for smaller networks and multi-core chips with extra RAM really make Untangle sing for larger networks. More specific sizing guidance and links to the community hardware compatibility list can be found on the Hardware Requirements wiki.
