About
Untangle NG Firewall is both a free and paid for open-source networking and firewall operating system. It is built off of Debian, making it more accessible to those who have experience in Linux. Untangle prides itself on its "single, modular, software platform designed to fit the evolving needs of your organization".
They built their program focusing on enterprises with limited resources in IT and network management. It's built to be effective, inexpensive, and very customizable. The paid version only totals at $270.00 and offers these features.
This page will be a collection of everything related to Untangle NG Firewall and my project. The sections will go as follows:
- Startup & Configuration
- A preliminary guide on how to install the software onto the Protectli device
- Initial configuration and customization
- Implementation Testing
- Live notes and findings from my experimentation with the software in the test environment
- Configuration necessary for my personal environment and services
- Scripts, Ansible, and Other Documentation
- Collection of scripts and ansible playbooks I've written to assist with configuration
- Other config files or notes I think should be included
Again, this is an evolving page so everything seen here is subject to change.
Startup & Configuration
In this section will be rough notes of the actions I completed throughout testing. These notes will eventually be turned into an easier to digest guide
