CacheGuard Gateway is a free and open-source Unified Threat Management (UTM) solution, a Web Application Firewall (WAF), and a Quality of Service (QoS) platform designed to optimize WAN traffic. To obtain a CacheGuard Gateway appliance, download CacheGuard-OS and install it on the bare-metal or virtual machine of your choice. It’s that simple and completely free.
The UTM includes a firewall, web antivirus, VPN server, and a URL-filtering and SSL-inspection web proxy. The WAF operates in conjunction with a reverse proxy, web application load balancer, and SSL offloader, and is capable of blocking malicious requests as well as traffic from IP addresses with poor reputations. The QoS manager enables traffic shaping to prioritize critical network flows, load balance multiple WAN links, and cache web traffic.

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

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!
