eBox Platform

eBox Platform is here to make managing your corporate network a breeze! This software is super user-friendly and comes packed with advanced services that you’ll find really helpful. It's designed to be flexible, so it includes tons of modules like Firewall, Transparent Proxy, Traffic Shaping, VPNs, Content Filter, NTP Server, Users and Groups, and even a Mail Server!

Key Features of eBox Platform

Let’s break down some of the cool features:

Smart Network Management

First up, creating network objects. This lets you easily manage IP addresses and keeps your firewall and other tools organized.

User-Friendly Interfaces

You can configure network interfaces right from the eBox administration interface. Want virtual interfaces or trunk interfaces? No problem! You can also set up default gateways, static routes, and DNS servers.

Secure Configuration

The platform has a secure default setup. This means you can filter packets, do NAT (Network Address Translation), and control access to all the services provided by other eBox modules.

Easy Updates

The admin interface lets you update both eBox components and the Debian operating system quickly.

Caching HTTP Proxy for Fast Browsing

This feature speeds up web browsing. Plus, it gives you the power to choose what users can access by filtering pages based on content or blacklists. You can even set custom file extensions!

User Management with LDAP

An LDAP server helps store user accounts that all modules share.

PDC for Windows Machines

If you have Windows machines in your office, eBox acts as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC), which means they can authenticate easily. Your users get roaming profiles and shared directories!

Email Management Made Easy

Your mailboxes will be stored securely with non-desired mail filtering included. It even acts as a mail relay if needed!

• DNS Cache: Speeds up name resolution for faster browsing.
