Proxy+ is a program that runs on a workstation or a server with all MS Windows and a connection to the Internet. Proxy+ works as firewall proxy server and mail server. All workstations can use Proxy+ services via the TCP/IP protocol.
Proxy+ Features:
Connection to the Internet
dedicated (synchronous or asynchronous) or switched line connection
only one IP address, which can be allocated dynamically by the ISP
automatic dialing at user's or mail server's request
automatic hang-up after a defined period of inactivity
week scheduler for an alternate hang-up timeout
support of ISP's modem multiseries
manual dial/hang-up via a WWW interface
Firewall / proxy server
separates the LAN from the Internet to protect from attacks
insecure interfaces (connected to the Internet) are detected automatically
cache increases speed of data retrieval and enables the use of data even if a connection isn't established
proxy cascading enables the use of a parent proxy with or without ICP protocol support
if the ICP protocol is used it is possible to define a few cooperative proxy servers at two levels: parents (at ISP) and siblings (at partnership company)
ICP protocol effectively detects temporarily dead proxy servers and gives users continuous access to requested objects
ability to access a listed source server directly (where access is enabled for permitted IP addresses)
Supported protocols and services:
HTTP proxy for access to WWW pages
HTTPS proxy for access to secured WWW pages
FTP proxy for access to data at FTP servers directly from a WWW browser
FTP gateway for access to FTP servers by FTP clients
Telnet gateway enables terminal access by the Telnet protocol
RealAudio proxy for playing audio/video distributed in RealAudio protocol
SOCKS version 4 and 5 for the access of programs using SOCKS protocols
POP3 mapped link enables easy communication between mail client and mail servers in Internet without using Proxy+ mail server
DNS forwarder translates domain names to IP addresses configurable DNS cache
Mapped links enable the use of protocols without proxy support (for instance IRC services)
P.S. Proxy+ is free for 3 users in the local network.
