eBox can be defined as a server for small and medium size organizations. It is a platform for the development and deployment of security and work-group related services on a local network, such as firewall, file sharing, proxy-cache, content filter, mail server, NTP server, DHCP server, printer server, Jabber server, ... It is configured through a web interface that integrates all services in a consistent and easy to use way. Its goal is to be usable by non-experts.

eBox is meant to be installed on a dedicated machine, all configuration tasks are performed through the eBox web interface. Its design is modular, new modules providing new services and features can be developed independently from its core package. eBox simplifies the deployment of new modules and the updates of existing ones with a software management module, which is also independent from the eBox base package. The system is based on Linux and has been developed on top of Ubuntu.

Please note: $0.90 from each eBox disc shipped is given to support the continued development of eBox. We are proud to offer our support and encourage you to financially support Free and Open Source Software development.
