Features

The feature set of DefenseBolt includes high-end features such as forward caching proxy, traffic shaping, intrusion detection and easy OpenVPN client setup. The latest release is based upon FreeBSD for long-term support and uses a newly developed MVC-framework based on Phalcon.


DefenseBolt’s focus on security brings unique features such as the option to use LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL (selectable in the GUI) and a custom version based on FreeBSD.


The robust and reliable update mechanism gives DefenseBolt the ability to provide important security updates in a timely fashion.
