Olfeo Secure Web Gateway review
A self-hosted gateway combining policy-based filtering, malware scanning, and roaming protection.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Olfeo Secure Web Gateway analyzes and filters organizational web traffic through proxy and DNS filtering, traffic antivirus, and HTTPS decryption. It is intended for organizations applying security policies to employees on-site, remotely, or while traveling. Its self-hosted deployment and fit across small, mid-market, and enterprise organizations make it relevant to teams that want the gateway inside their own IT infrastructure and need protection beyond the office network.
Policy controls cover category- and employee-profile-based filtering, with rules for time slots, volume quotas, and overrides. Traffic antivirus uses signature and heuristic malware scanning, while HTTPS decryption allows traffic analysis and filtering. DNS filtering and reporting add visibility into web use and threats. Active Directory and ADFS support employee authentication; roaming-user protection is provided through an operating-system-integrated agent. This combination is a practical fit when an organization needs centralized policy enforcement for both office and traveling users.
Deployment is self-hosted rather than cloud-based, so teams should account for operating the product within their own infrastructure. The published product information does not offer a public price; according to the vendor's pricing information, prospective buyers need to contact sales. Documentation is the listed support channel, so organizations that require other specified support routes should clarify those arrangements. Choose Olfeo when on-premises control, filtering policy depth, and roaming protection are priorities; look elsewhere if cloud-only deployment or a publicly stated price is essential.
