Its on the Supermicro site, as far as I know they only sell two versions of the D525, and two versions of the D510 Model numbers either X7SPA or the X7SPE, Difference between the two being one isnt exactly mini-ITX have no desire for proxy.Īnd I agree, in larger organizations, separate the UTM appliance from the edge router.
Just those 2 components.to me does not quality it as a full and proper UTM.just a "trying to almost be one".
Untangles bandwidth control module can blow the doors off of PFSenses, it's AV and antispyware modules are far better than just plain clam, it's IDS is properly configured (I wager 99% of people that install snort into pfsense just install it and walk away thinking it's running, they never turn it on or go configure it). Trying to avoid an Untangle vs PFSense thread, but the facts are they are two totally different things. For home networks and for those into high loads that want Ferrari like performance.nothing can beat PFSense. I often run it at home at least once a year. I've put it in production at some clients of mine. I love PFSense.don't get me wrong, I've been a fan of it since pretty much its first version, and I've pimped it in a lot of forums, and pushed it so hard over at smallnetbuilders forums that their tech guys finally did some reviews and articles on it and have been pushing it. PFSense by default is really just doing NAT/PAT. But that's my opinion.īy heavier firewall duties, I mean that Untangle has all of those UTM modules. PfSense does have squid, snort, anti-virus to make it a UTM but it does slow it down some, but not to much compare to unTangle (unless your have high horsepower.) If you need a UTM, I feel it should be a separate box then your fw/router and only put IDS on your router/fw if it can support it. I've been finding more and more post about users installing pfSense as their edge router/fw and connecting unTangle to it to use as UTM. Not much is added to pfSense outside the core FreeBSD distro. PfSense takes all the functions of FreeBSD and puts it in a nice GUI for end users to configure. I've found untangle to offer great logging but pfSense does better at real-time reporting and if you configure it correctly, its Traffic Shaper(QOS) is out of this world.
What do you mean by that? pfSense is a pure router/firewall that's it core where it makes its bread and money. I agree with your statements for the most part but i dont agree with 'heavier firewall duties'.
