Would you know if your network was hacked? Untangle makes a hardware-based firewall that we recommend. All inbound and outbound internet traffic, hardwired and Wi-Fi, are monitored with activity alerts for suspicious connections.
It provides 24×7 protection for your internal internet-attached devices. In addition to the standard reports illustrated below, the router interface has extensive configuration options for the most demanding requirements. Online documentation and live support are some of the best we have seen.
Map Distribution
This map shows where the servers are located that you are currently accessing. It is otherwise often unknown where in the world you are connected. This is not a critical fact but can be useful to identify spotty connection service.
Top Applications Over Time
During the day, the load changes on your internet usage. This helps you determine when the peaks in activity occur and what is being done at that time.
Top Applications By Size
Which internet applications are being most used on your network? These applications are the major websites that are being accessed by your network. The largest is likely email synchronization.
Top Requested Categories
This shows you what the top categories are in your network requests. This is a great way to determine productivity constraints. Where is the time being spent on the internet within your network?
Top Hostnames Usage
The hostnames are the individual devices connected to your firewall and the relative peaks in bandwidth consumption by each over time. This can be a tool to assist in troubleshooting slow internet performance.
Interface Usage
This allows you to monitor the interface usage on your network. It generally denotes the bandwidth by wired vs. wireless connections over time.
Sessions Per Minute
Sessions provide a view of the current sessions (connections). Each row represents a single network session and its properties. As NG Firewall and all the apps learn more about a session, many will “attach” data to the session so it is globally visible and accessible to other apps.
Alert Events
With all of the activity going on across your network, it is nice to know there is a place where the firewall engineers report alerts. These alerts if they exist, are linked to specific logs that report all of the details.
