Book Description

Untangle NG Firewall simplifies network security because of its easy configuration and user-friendly interface. These attributes, in addition to its low price, make Untangle one of the most popular UTM products, and the first choice for many SMBs.

Starting with a detailed description of the capabilities of Untangle as a server security solution, this book will help you to choose the right hardware and successfully deploy Untangle on your network. You will learn how to tackle a multitude of digital threats by using Filters and Blockers, including Virus Blocker, Spam Blocker, and Spyware Blocker. You will learn how to use these tools in a dedicated scenario-based training module. You will then learn about Untangle's Network Policy, how to display network-acceptable use policies, and how to enforce network policies for guests and mobile devices. With this book, you will gain hands-on experience of utilizing Untangle's WAN and VPN services, and you will be tutored on how to effectively secure your network infrastructure in real-world situations, with solutions for every type of business.
