Windows Server Firewall

[hellosky]

Is there a software like pfSense and Untangle that can run inside a Windows OS not on a Linux install?

 

[PersonalJ]

No, believe me I've looked. You may want to deploy a hardware firewall in front of the server.

use a virtual machine and use untangle, they provide vmware images.

Last time I tried to deploy untangle in a vm it created a broadcast storm on installation.. After reading I found ppl say you can't use it under a vm... But if you can I will load it up right now

POOF there the answer is!

Build small Untangle box, rack mount it, or build it into a rack mount :0

Keep firewall separate from your main machine.

You mean like Microsoft's ISA or forefront(ISA's replacement)?

Well I might give it another try as long as I have enough resources left on the box.

Take your rack and fuck it

I second this option, if you're looking for something that will run "on" or "in" Windows then go with a VM. But I strongly urge you to consider pfsense! Requires a lot less, in terms of hardware, than either Windows or Untangle...free and very straight forward. If that's still too much for you then get an off the shelf router and put OpenWRT, DD-WRT or Tomato on it.

This.

However I really like untangle. Using it at work has made my life tons easier, between filtering out the crap sites that should not be in the workplace plus the malware/spyware module.
