Hardware Requirements

  • The Untangle Server requires a dedicated PC installed at the gateway to your network.
  • Your hardware does not need an operating system - the Untangle Server installs its own operating system.
  • The Untangle Server software completely erases any content or data that may exist on your PC hard drive.


Sizing Guidance

Recommended Configurations (New Hardware)

When purchasing new hardware, spending a couple of extra dollars to meet the following recommended configurations provides the best value. Check out the Hardware Discussion Forum to view the latest community commentary on building Untangle servers with even more powerful hardware configurations.

Resource Up to 50 Users Up to 100 Users Up to 300 Users
Intel/AMD-compatible Processor Pentium 4 equivalent or greater Dual Core Dual Core
Memory 1 GB 1 GB 2 GB
Hard Drive 80 GB 80 GB 80 GB
NIC's 2 (3 for DMZ) 2 (3 for DMZ) 2 (3 for DMZ)


Verified Configurations (Trials, Refurbished or Repurposed Hardware)

These are the lowest verified hardware configurations that provide reliable — albeit sometimes slower — performance in production. However, it may be possible for organizations with lower than average network traffic or organizations that do not wish to use all of the modules to run Untangle on smaller systems. Please see the Hardware Discussion Forum to view the latest community commentary on non-verified hardware configurations.
