Smoothwall Guardian 2 web filter is nearing its end of life as a supported software product.
What is happening? The continued development of the Secure Web Gateway (SWG) product will mean that from the end of March 2013 it will no longer be possible to support customers using the Guardian 2 system. On this basis Smoothwall are undertaking a planned End-of-Life (EOL) project for Guardian 2 users.
