![]() Now, I Have yet to pentest the UTM of Untangle, but I am fairly certain from what I Have seen so far, it’s gonna be rock soild for the most part. Reporting – Just OMG is all I have to say. ![]() Maybe even slightly better, but I didn’t load it up either. Onto monitoring and Maintenance – WHAT?! A centralized dashboard, with no real setup? Plus remote control in one-click. I know Untangle costs money, but if I am serving up a full UTM to my clients, I want it to mostly stress-free and hassle-free. Yes there is a setting in there to turn of compression and likely I wouldn’t run into this issue in the windowZ world, but glad I figured it now and not under deployment! The issue was with compression and the mode of which untangle + openVPN rolls it out. Untangle, again worked out of the box in less than half the time of others – despite my issues on my Ubuntu end. I finally burned it to the ground, started over and 8 times later, no luck. Logs were exactly 0.00% help in that matter. ![]() For instance in the latest pfsense, I had it running in a VM and despite my best efforts, the VPN connection (which should have worked fine) randomly kicked me out, randomly had to restart services on the VM etc. The Ease of Use and setup/config is one of the greats. The fault is on Ubuntu, however I will be upgrading here this week to 18.04 to be current. I literally got all of the things running in a few minutes (Minus a Manual tweak for my Ubuntu 16.04 having an outdated package of OpenVPN client) – No fault of OpenVPN or Untangle for that matter. Just test drove PFsense, OpnSense etc the past few days and I have to say I have had trouble getting basic things going. I am always a huge fanboy of rolling my own stuff, *nix from scratch? Yeah. Took a break from IT services to Teach Cyber Security Training as that was my strongest skill (Penetration Testing) I Have been breaking stuff since the mid-'80s I love Open Source and developed my own Firewall back in 2002. ![]() Just a TLDR on my background, I had a very successful IT company doing everything from Break-Fix and starting MSP back in 08-09. So I thought I’d write a text-based review on Untangle here for everyone to see. ![]()
