information
about usage through WWW
- It can be run as a service
under Windows NT
- There are three main reasons leading to the use of a Firewall / Proxy server
-
- Using Internet services from all computers in local network via only one
machine that is connected to the Internet. This machine can be connected
via
a dial up modem or second ethernet interface. This ability is welcomed by
most users.
- Another, more serious reason is protection of your local network If your
LAN is not directly connected to the Internet, then the only way to access
Internet is to go via the proxy server.
- The last reason can be the need for better use of Internet resources.
The data going via proxy server is stored in a shared cache. It allows users
to retrieve FTP, Gopher and HTTP data quickly and efficiently, often avoiding
the need to access the Internet.

an ideal program for using at home for these reasons:

has a computer but you have only one modem. But the whole family can connect
to Internet with the help of WinProxy.

a problem with WinProxy.
- If you think that some WWW pages are for adults only, you can make them
unreachable for children using WinProxy.
