Ahhh - good question; I was waiting for someone to ask... I haven't.

I only really needed a content filter for the younger members of my 
family. When I upgraded "the boys'" computer to Edubuntu, I found a 
great thread that helped me add Dan's Guardian and a proxy onto that 
machine. (It runs as root and he can't do anything about it... Hee Heee. 
Until he learns how to hack I guess. But by then I doubt I'll care much 
about him looking at porn anyway).

As for a firewall, we have one built into my dsl router and it's quite 
locked down. I have only one M$ PC left in the household (but not for 
much longer) so other forms of protection are largely unnecessary today. 
Of course that may change over time but for now I'm quite happy.

I should think a GUI like Firestarter (http://www.fs-security.com/) 
would be my next port of call if/when I decide to add a firewall to my 
server.

HTH and thanks for asking.

PS - I did test Untangle on a VM and on a separate partition of my VIA 
host as it now installs cleanly on Ubuntu servers using apt. But is was 
just too much hassle to migrate the existing apps over to an Ubuntu 
Server. If my OS hadn't been a roll-your-own I would have probably used it.
