Zentyal Gateway¶

This chapter focuses on the functionality of Zentyal as a gateway. This provides more reliable and secure network, management of the bandwidth and clear definition of connection and content policies.

There is a section focused on the functionality of the firewall module. This module allows you to define rules to manage the incoming and outgoing traffic of both the server and the internal network.

These modules assist with the management of network objects and services and simplify firewall configuration.

When you access Internet, you can balance the load between several connections and define different rules to use one or another connection depending on the traffic. In addition, you will see how to guarantee the quality of service, by giving higher priority to a specific type of traffic or by limiting the speed in some cases, as in the P2P example.

RADIUS allows authentication of the network users and finally, you will also find an introduction to the HTTP proxy service. This service also allows for faster proxy Internet access by storing the cache and establishing different content filtering policies.
