Please note that as CacheGuard is provided as an OS it is complicated to share its source code here but CacheGuard-OS is still an Open Source project. If you need to look at our code we suggest that you download the installation CDROM, install it on a machine and then see the code. You can download the bootable ISO CDROM image of the latest 64 bits version of CacheGuard-OS at https://sourceforge.net/projects/webgateway/.
