My New Firewall - Untangle

Technology

 

Untangle73banner

 

For about 5 years now I have been using some sort of Linux or Free BSD based firewall to protct my home network.  I started with IPCop, then moved to Smoothwall, then PFsense, and now I am using Untangle.  Out of all that I have used, I have to say that Untangle is definitely the most sophisticated of the bunch.  I gave it a try about a year ago but it wasn't up to par with the rest.  It has come a long way since then.
