Easy, Affordable, Flexible

With Untangle firewall for schools, you get ease of use, affordability, and flexibility to accommodate student, teacher, and staff needs. Untangle makes it straightforward to manage your network through:

Dynamic Web Filter

Filter websites by critical categories for such as Pornography, Illegal Drugs, Dating, and Hate and Aggression, as well as manage access to web mail, shopping, proxies, and other sites.

Control Internet usage based on 53 categories that covers over 100 million URLs.
URLs that have not been seen before are processed and classified in real-time, allowing you to stay one step ahead of your students.
Block https/ssl sessions by IP, thwarting a popular work around for standard web filtering solutions.

Control Instant Messenger and other P2P applications

Port hopping applications such as instant messenger and bit torrent can bypass standard firewall rules, consume network traffic, introduce malware, and open a door for child predators. Untangle school firewall allows you to control these applications and set reasonable restrictions for your network.

Block Viruses, Spyware, Spam, Phish, and Other Malware

The Untangle firewall for schools scans all traffic including http and ftp for viruses, worms, spyware, phishing, and other threats to protect your network and the personal information of your students.

Monitoring

The Untangle school firewall reports lets you see who's doing what on your network, including reporting by active directory user name. This lets you monitor for violations of your acceptable use policy and identify suspect behavior.

Policy Management
