Content Filtering

Filters automatically to block inappropriate websites based on the categorizations you define. Also monitors and logs all user web activity. In addition to the automatic filter rules, administrators can define customized white and black lists per desktop, IP range or user/group. Mmaintains a URL database of over 100+ million scanned websites is comprehensive and growing.

Active Directory Connector

The Directory Connector is designed to leverage your Microsoft Active Directory server to simplify policy management and enrich reporting.
Directory Connector can be used for:

• Reporting by user name
• Enforcing policy, such as web content restrictions, by user name and by group name
• Leverages existing Active Directory deployments
• Authenticate by Directory Connector username
• Logging & reporting by Directory Connector username
• Runs at the gateway with no client software to install
• Reporting (PDF & HTML) and logging to monitor network, system & user behavior

Policy Manager

The Policy Manager enables administrators to fine tune network privileges. Policy Manager's intuitive GUI and "virtual rack" metaphor makes it easy for administrators to:

• Create network access policies by username
• Create network access policies by time or day of the week
• Assign permission to users for applications such as instant messenger, gaming, and video streaming.
• More easily manage and automate multiple Internet usage policies across organizations
• Automated sessions within Policy Manager allow organizations to "time-out" certain policy changes, for example allowing IM or Facebook access only during lunch hours

Protocol Control

Lets administrators control which services they allow on their network. If your organization does not allow IM traffic, a couple clicks of the mouse will do just that. Want to deny access to facebook or other social networking sites? That's easy too with a couple clicks. Full logging of traffic is also part of the solution.

Monitoring and Logging

All network activity is monitored and logged in real time to daily reports which can be viewed online or emailed / downloaded as a full PDF report. Reports include detailed traffic analysis with full visual graphs. A complete system for any size network to lock down, monitor and control all aspects of IP traffic to the outside world.

Spyware Filtering

Websites containing spyware are automatically blocked. This helps ensure that your network stays spyware free. Spyware filtering is custom configurable with default blocks for cookies, Malware, Active X, Spyware, Ads, URL's and much more.

Anti-Phish Filter

Phishing is a way of getting people to visit websites that they don't want or intend to. When you block Phishing at the network level, users won't need to worry about being directed to compromised or inappropriate websites. The ITEoC untangle® Network Gateway UTM Appliance scans Mail traffic and allows for a configurable level of action based on results.

Network Level Anti-Virus

Monitors all inbound and outbound traffic providing an extra layer of anti-virus protection occurring from file transfers or website virus distribution. Consider The ITEoC untangle® Network Gateway UTM Appliance to be an extra layer of anti-virus protection that works in conjunction with your desktop anti-virus but does so [silently] at the network level. Scans, web, email and FTP traffic.

Intrusion Prevention

The ITEoC untangle® Network Gateway UTM Appliance scans network traffic and looks for undesired incoming probes or traffic and then denies them network access. Intrusion Prevention can be shaped and tailored by the Administrator to their preference or left as default.

Attack Blocker

The ITEoC untangle® Network Gateway UTM Appliance also watches for malicious traffic like Denial of Service [DoS] attacks and more. It will shut down these attacks automatically. It is based on a heuristic based intrusion prevention and requires no configuration. Users can modify the treatment of certain IP and/or networks on the exception tab.

Open VPN

The ITEoC untangle® Network Gateway UTM Appliance can be used as a full VPN client or server.

Firewall/Router

The ITEoC untangle® Network Gateway UTM Appliance can be used as a full router and firewall if desired (or used in conjunction with the networks current firewall / router setup). It is a true firewall in that the administrator must decide what incoming traffic to allow when firewall rules are enabled.
The router portion provides the following:

• Full NAT or classic routing modes
• Fully configurable Authoritative DHCP server
• Internal, External and DMZ network control.
• Port Forwarding
• Hostname control with Dynamic DNS
• QoS control

Ad Blocker

Ad Blocker enables administrators to block web ads at the gateway by transparently removing them from web pages.
Benefits include:

• Easier to read web pages without distracting ads
• Improved page download times
• Reduced traffic on the network

WAN Failover

WAN Failover allows companies to prevent network downtime caused by their Internet Service Provider (ISP). The appliance detects when your primary Internet link goes down and then switches traffic to a backup connection automatically. When used with WAN Balancer, WAN Failover detects downtime and reroutes traffic to the remaining Internet links.

• Automatically detects Internet outages and switches to the backup provider
• Customize thresholds and tests per connection
• Logs Internet downtime making it easy to identify connections with poor reliability

Captive Portal

The ITEoC untangle® Network Gateway UTM Appliance Captive Portal enables organizations to display a mandatory default web page to all users, before they are able to access the Internet.
