OS as UTM

[cpcnw]

Hi - new to forum and Opnsense and am interested in the possibility of Opnsense as a UTM platform.

I mainly only want to achieve 2 things;

1) URL Filtering / Scanning to prevent bad stuff being accessed by users
2) Email Filtering / Scanning  to prevent bad stuff being accessed by users

Would appreciate general pointers inc RTFM, sections of the manual, friendly advice and success stories

OPNsense doesn't do email filtering; you'd need to deploy something like EFA https://efa-project.org/

Cheers Bart,

How does it fair on the URL filtering?

Tia!

The squid proxy supports blacklist subscriptions under 'Remote Access Control Lists' and the firewall itself can use the Spamhaus DROP and EDROP lists https://www.spamhaus.org/faq/section/DROP%20FAQ

For everything else there is Suricata
