  • ufdbGuard is the fastest URL filter with an amazing 50,000 URL verifications/sec on a single processor (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2) running Linux.
  • ufdbGuard guards against security risks incurred by proxy tunnels, SSH tunnels, unauthorised VPNs and other unauthorised tools that punch holes in firewalls using the web proxy like UltraSurf.
