At Techville.ca we believe in a proactive approach to securing and cleansing networks.

Many on site calls and issues with Windows Servers and workstations could have been avoided by stopping what we call “bad traffic” at the front end of the network.

Running anti virus, anti spam and other “bad traffic” controls from inside your network is prudent, but inevitably allows this bad traffic inside. Given that the best anti virus software is only about 87% effective, you may find yourself in a state of constant cleansing of your workstations and servers.

This tends to be a costly and inefficient solution, using valuable network resources and often causing user down time and/ or slow downs.

Isn’t it better to stop the bugs from ever coming in to your house than to deal with them once inside?

Untangle is a very low maintenance program which runs on a dedicated machine at the front end of your network. It acts as a cleansing pool protecting your Windows Servers and workstations from virus, spam, outside attacks (hackers) and spy ware. It provides a truly proactive solution by blocking Internet drool from ever getting to your Windows machines.

We have been implementing Untangle solutions since November 2007 and we have found the reduction in network and workstation issues to be absolutely astounding.

Untangle logs all activity by default and can be easily set to send daily, monthly or even weekly reports to the System Administrator or IT Staff.

Analysis of your bandwidth usage, network speed and slow downs is now proactively solved by monitoring your logs thus avoiding costly downtime.

Untangle can also provide reports to show you exactly where your employees are surfing to on the web, including times of day and from which workstations. After all it is your network and you are responsible for content.

Blocking specific sites or certain types of content such as porn or other bad web data becomes as simple as clicking a check box on a system wide or per user level.

Running an Exchange server at the front of your network can be a business necessity but a bad idea if unprotected. This is mainly due to attacks and attempts from spammers from the outside.

Having your Internet Service provider “pass” the mail to your Exchange after cleansing it, has issues:

1/ the data including your passwords can be read in transit

2/ the ISP’s are generally either too strict or too lax in their spam rules

3/ privacy issues; since now all of your mail is sitting on someone else’s server

4/ recovering mail marked as spam and “whitelisting” traffic is usually a painstaking task.

If you are running an Exchange server within your company then Untangle logically becomes a “must have”. It will cleanse the mail, scan it for viruses, tag spam or quarantine it (your choice), and firewall your network workstations and servers; all automated once configured.

This takes an enormous load off the existing Exchange server, resulting in far less downtime and concern for security patches.

The Untangle server is set to update automatically.

We offer Untangle Server Solutions built on Dell Business Class equipment and rest assured, it will pay for itself in a very short time by reducing down time and on site service calls.

We can ship your Untangle Server anywhere in Canada complete with easy to setup instructions and tailored to your existing network specifications.
