Comments on Spam Blocking And Web Filtering With The Untangle 5.3 Network Gateway
Spam Blocking And Web Filtering With The Untangle 5.3 Network Gateway Untangle bundles common open-source applications for blocking spam, spyware, viruses, adware and unwanted content on the network in one single Linux distribution. It can be integrated into existing networks either as a router or as a transparent bridge (directly behind the router, but before the switch that connects the client PCs with the router). The best thing about Untangle is that you don't have to reconfigure the client PCs - Untangle works out of the box.

This product is attractive , especially if you do not rely on Active Directory for proxy auth . There is a commercial plugin available.... But this plugin is a monthly subscription (PER USER) .... which is very sad .
I am ok to pay a monthly subscription (corporate use) for antivirus , real time black list etc ... . but to query an LDAP/ADirectory .... squid is doing this for free with a perl script ... . And no Active directory integration is not changing each months, no need to fully rewrite this plugin.
Why not a one time buy for this plugin ... . ? . I agree it will generate less incomes.
Other big actors on the market are proposing default Active directory integration . Their product is maybe more expensive ... but if you take in account the monthly cost generated by this plugin for a large network .. ... .
Attractive product. Marketing/sales side has to brainstorm a little bit.
