Untangle, Inc. released yesterday, June 3rd, a new version of its popular gateway solution. The Untangle Gateway 6.2.0 (Escalade) Linux distribution provides a large collection of the best open-source applications, designed to improve the stability and security of servers.

This new release comes with a new Ad Blocker app that removes Internet ads from web pages, without having to install separate programs on the client machines.

Other changes in Untangle Gateway 6.2.0:

· Added a "Shutdown" button;
· The "Screenshot" button is no longer present in the installer;
· The default resolution is now 1024x768 and can be changed from the menu bar;
· After the wizard finishes, OpenVPN will open;
· "Key" was renamed to "UID";
· The Network --> Config menu has now a "General" settings entry;
· The wakeonlan package was added;
· The Email test received several usability improvements;
· Communication between internal networks is now enabled by default;
· The favicon for blockpage was changed;
· A bug that caused hangs on reboots was fixed;
· An issue that required rebooting OpenVPN was resolved;
· Newly distributed OpenVPN keys are not missing anymore;
· Improved port forwarding "back inside";
· Multiple WANs are now supported through the implementation of a "WAN" checkbox in the interface configuration.

In the paid version of Untangle Gateway 6.2.0 two new applications were added: WAN Failover and WAN Balancer. The first can monitor multiple WAN interfaces and, if it detects failures, it transfers the traffic to a working one, resulting in a significantly increased uptime. The WAN Balancer application, as its name suggests, balances Internet traffic between multiple WAN interfaces to use the available bandwidth to its full potential.
