Description

CacheGuard-OS is an open-source Linux-based UTM gateway appliance OS that has been in active development since 2002. It is designed to run on commodity x86 hardware and act as the default route between an internal network and the internet, replacing the ISP-provided router as the traffic checkpoint. The stack integrates: Squid (web cache and proxy), ClamAV (web antivirus), ModSecurity (WAF), StrongSwan (IPsec/IKEv2 VPN), IPRoute2 (QoS and WAN load balancing), NetFilter (stateful firewall), SSL inspection, and URL filtering. All components are configured through a web-based admin interface rather than directly, making the platform accessible to operators without deep Linux expertise while remaining auditable by those who want to inspect the underlying configuration. The OS has been open-source since its first release — source ships on every installed appliance. It was recently published publicly on GitHub to make the codebase easier to browse and audit. Target deployments are small to medium networks — SMBs, schools, and branch offices — where a commercial UTM appliance is overkill on budget but the threat surface is the same. Runs on bare metal or common hypervisors (VMware, VirtualBox, KVM, Hyper-V). No vendor lock-in, no subscription, no licence cost. GitHub: cacheguard/CacheGuard-OS

Description

PatrolTech, developed by Ingenieros Web SL, is a cloud-based solution for managing guard tours and security patrols. Security personnel can confirm their checkpoints through the use of QR codes or NFC tags, complemented by GPS validation, while also documenting incidents with photos. The accompanying mobile application allows for offline patrols, ensuring synchronization occurs once the device reconnects to the internet. Supervisors have the ability to oversee sites, routes, teams, and incident reports via a comprehensive web dashboard. This platform is tailored for various sectors, including security firms, facility management organizations, residential communities, and industrial environments. A free plan is available indefinitely, accommodating up to 5 checkpoints and an unlimited number of guards. For more extensive needs, the Pro plan begins at $29 per month, which includes 10 checkpoints and an additional charge of $2 per month for each extra checkpoint. The Business plan, starting at $79 a month, offers 40 checkpoints, with an added fee of $1 per month for any additional checkpoints beyond that. Custom pricing is available for enterprise users, and notably, there is no requirement for proprietary reader hardware, making it accessible for a wider range of users. This flexibility allows organizations to adopt the system with ease and without the burden of additional equipment costs.
