Hardware Requirements
- Untangle must be installed onto a dedicated machine with at least two NICs.
- Untangle installs to the hard drive of a PC, erasing all data on that drive in the process. Please be aware of this before starting the installation.
Purchasing an Untangle Appliance
You can now purchase a server directly from Untangle pre-installed with our software - your first annual subscription is even included in the price! Please see our appliances page for more information.
Using your own Hardware
One of the great things about Untangle is that we're software based, meaning you can install it to any desktop or server PC that fits the bill. When putting together an Untangle server you must account for several variables - the hardware you're installing onto, the number of users as well as the workload of those users. We've provided a table below with some recommended hardware specs for user bands, but please remember that these are only guidelines - if you build on the lowest hardware sepcs you think will work, you may have unsatisfactory results.
