| Features |
|---|
| Easy Configuration | Web based, no editing text configuration files.
|
| Memory |
No big databases are kept in memory, no matter how large the cache is, memory usage will only increase when more users access it at the same time.
|
| Speed | To see how much cpu the proxy uses, run top or task manager.
Then open multiple windows and hit reload continously, on my computer I usually run out of bandwidth before it goes near 3-5% cpu usage.
|
| Shared Cache |
Can be used as a general cache for all users of a computer/network instead of one cache per profile.
|
| Automatic config | Auto generates the .pac file for automatic proxy settings, no more updating in the do not use proxy section of individual users' browsers. |
| Anonymous P2P proxy |
Joining the anonymous proxy network will allow you to use other people's
proxys for browsing and allow them to use yours.
|
| SOCKS |
Supports enough of SOCKS to run ftp, most Instant messengers, irc, limewire, etc.
|
| User authentication |
Supports external user authentication.
|
