How To Install Untangle

To recap on what Untangle is, check out my article – building a router using Untangle. Before trying to install, be sure you have the proper hardware requirements. After confirming the requirements, you can download the Untangle Software from their website.

Also needed, are two ethernet ports. One for the incoming connection and one for the outgoing connection. I prefer using the motherboards that already have two ports.

If you don’t have one available, you can get an extra NIC (Network Interface Card). If you’re going to run more than Untangle (Proxmox), you will need more than two ports.

Once you have two (or more) ports you will also need two (or more) Ethernet cables.
