What is CacheGuard Gateway?
CacheGuard Gateway is a free and open-source Unified Threat Management (UTM) solution, a Web Application Firewall (WAF), and a Quality of Service (QoS) platform designed to optimize WAN traffic. To obtain a CacheGuard Gateway appliance, download CacheGuard-OS and install it on the bare-metal or virtual machine of your choice. It’s that simple and completely free.
The UTM includes a firewall, web antivirus, VPN server, and a URL-filtering and SSL-inspection web proxy. The WAF operates in conjunction with a reverse proxy, web application load balancer, and SSL offloader, and is capable of blocking malicious requests as well as traffic from IP addresses with poor reputations. The QoS manager enables traffic shaping to prioritize critical network flows, load balance multiple WAN links, and cache web traffic.
CacheGuard-OS is distributed as a free and open-source operating system. It is based on the Linux kernel and primarily uses NetFilter, IPRoute2, OpenSSL, StrongSwan, ClamAV, Squid, Apache, ModSecurity, and numerous other well-known open-source components, intelligently integrated to provide easy-to-use network security and traffic optimization features.
