Hi Richard,
Welcome to the Endian Firewall Community!
1) Yes Endian can identify User Agent String including:
AOL
APT
AvantBrowser
Firefox
FrontPage
Gecko compatible
GetRight
Go!Zilla
Google Toolbar
IE
Java
Konqueror
Lynx
Netscape
Opera
Python urlgrabber
Safari
Windows Update
wget
and there may be more as I'm running 2.1.2
2) Yes it can send a specific squid HTTP error page to the browser,
most pages for customisation live in /usr/share/squid/errors/English
3) It can allow Windows Update (see 1) but not sure about AV update,
but if you have a single internal AV server you can add it's IP
address or MAC address to a proxy whitelist so it can still have
access out then the clients obtain AV updates from this internal
server - saves a lot of downloads (same can be done for Windows Update
by setting up WSUS on a Windows Server and Software Update on Mac
Server)
4) Yes
5) Yes full inbound and outbound firewall with port redirection etc
6) Yes we currently have it running in a school of 550 students and 80
staff and it goes quite well - however this depends on your hardware
7) It's FREE + hardware
As for a consultant for Endian customisation I'm not sure of any, what
sort of things are you wanting customised? HTTP error pages? Or more
like adding other features to the box?
Hope this helps!
Sam.
