Proxy description
AnalogX Proxy - A small server that allows any machine on your local network to route it's requests through a central machine
Do you have several machines on a network, but only one connection to the internet?
Wish you could browse the net from the other machines, just like you can from the machine that's connected? Then what you're looking for is called a Proxy Server, and AnalogX has just what you want.
AnalogX Proxy is a small and simple server that allows any other machine on your local network to route it's requests through a central machine.
So what does that mean in English? Simple, run Proxy on the machine with the internet connection; configure the other machines to use a proxy (it's very easy, there's a detailed description in the readme), and voila! You're surfing the web from any other machine on your network!
AnalogX Proxy supports FTP (file transfer), HTTP (web), HTTPS (secure web), NNTP (newsgroups), POP3 (recieve mail), SMTP (send mail) and Socks4/4a and partial Socks5 (no UDP) protocols! It works great with Internet Explorer, Netscape, Instant Messenger, AOL, AOL Microsoft Messenger, and many other programs.
