The solution I went with was Astaro and have been very pleased by it.

but the free edition doesn't seem to have a web filter – rzlines – 2010-08-14T22:48:24.067

The home license does include a web filter that you can use based on categories or custom urls. If you want web filtering also look into OpenDNS, that and Astaro and you should be set. – David Remy – 2010-08-15T01:36:47.140

yep i do currently use OpenDNS but was looking for an independent solution that acts like a router and a webfilter this seems to look like a decent alternative to Untangle, i will audition them both and see what best fits the bill. Thanks for the reply – rzlines – 2010-08-15T05:33:28.907

Why not use pfSense?

does it have a web filter like untangle? besides i always felt like it was more complicated to use haven't really tried it though u can correct me if i'm wrong – rzlines – 2010-08-14T22:53:32.703

Untangle has a free version, too ... which is opensource, at least they say so.

I am not sure what Untangle does, maybe something like Guarddog would be what you want.

Untangle does quite a bit in the free version but im looking out for a more comprhensive web filter and something that offers more features than untangle – rzlines – 2010-08-14T22:50:13.233
