CacheGuard Gateway is a simple internet security solution for startups, small businesses and SMEs that need strong protection without complexity. A free, open-source Unified Threat Management (UTM) platform for quick deployment and easy management.

Download CacheGuard-OS and install on bare-metal or a virtual machine. In minutes, you get a complete security gateway protecting your network at no cost.

Includes firewall, web antivirus, VPN, URL filtering, and SSL-inspecting web proxy in one UTM stack.

A built-in Web Application Firewall (WAF) works with reverse proxy, load balancer and SSL offloader to block malicious requests and low-reputation IP traffic.

Quality of Service (QoS) prioritises critical traffic, balances multiple WAN links and caches web content to optimise performance.

User Reviews

  • Excellent :-)
  • Excellent and easy to implement web proxy solution! We've implemented this proxy for about 10 of our best clients and gave them the access to the it's web admin interface. They are really happy to be able to manage it by themselves without being a security expert. We recommend this as a remote (in the cloud) or on-premise proxy. It's a worth installing it in a VM and evaluate by yourself!
  • I implemented cacheguard for one of our clients the last week and it takes me 2 hours only! I give 5 stars for the ease of use but you should be aware that you need basic network skills to implement cacheguard as a transparent gateway into your network. My client needed a firewall and
  • Reliable, robust and mature project with lots of high availability features to ensure service continuity.

  • Cacheguard is the best and easy to use transparent proxy I have ever used! Even if there are some constraints in the installation process (requires its own machine), once installed and some basic network configuration is done, it is straightforward to configure. We use it in our company especially to filter malware and also for web caching. The traffic shaping is basic but serves its purpose. Nice integrated solution!
