Untangle, Inc. today announced Untangle 6.2 is now available for download. Highlights of this latest release are Untangle, Inc.'s new multiWAN services: WAN Balancer and WAN Failover. Also included in this release is Ad Blocker, for filtering out banner advertisements.
WAN Balancer
WAN Balancer allows companies to easily split traffic across up to six separate Internet connections. The traffic is spread based on user-specified weightings, ensuring less contention and higher performance. Companies can also save money with WAN Balancer by eliminating an expensive T1 connection in favor of multiple and redundant Cable and DSL links.
WAN Failover
WAN Failover allows companies to prevent network downtime caused by their Internet Service Provider (ISP). The application detects if a company's primary Internet link goes down and switches traffic to a backup connection automatically. When used with WAN Balancer, WAN Failover detects downtime and reroutes traffic to the remaining Internet links.
Ad Blocker
Ad Blocker enables administrators to block web ads at the gateway by transparently removing them from web pages, improving page download times and reducing network traffic.
Untangle is available for free download at http://www.untangle.com/
