Open Source (and Free)
The Untangle Server and 12 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.
Commercial Add-ons
These are designed for networks with advanced needs. Commercial add-ons include live support, advanced management features and applications for additional security and remote access.
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 as a bare-metal install, on Windows XP, VMware, Ubuntu & Debian
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.
