In our network, all the users are using Linux systems... and this Gate way server also we have Linux machine right now... will your software supports linux at the moment or should we switch to Windows?. or are there any plans to support Linux if no support at the moment.



Please let us know so that we will plan accordingly.



and out of all the possible deployments what is the best deployment to restrict the users in a better way.

WFilter needs to be installed in a windows system. However, it can monitor client computers running linux or other OS.



So at least you need a windows pc to install wfilter.



Since your gateway is also in linux, it is more simple. You can use "iptables" in the gateway to forward traffic to the WFilter computer for monitoring.

For example, in our ubuntu gateway, the iptables syntax will be:



$sudo iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -j TEE --gateway 192.168.1.x



"192.168.1.x" is ip address of the wfilter computer.



To make it work after reboot, you can add this command into "/etc/rc.local".
