How to Setup a Proxy Server How to Setup a Proxy Server

A proxy server is one that receives requests intended for another server and that acts on the behalf of the
client (as the client proxy) to obtain the requested service. It is often used when the client and the server
are incompatible for direct connection. For example, the client may be unable to meet the security
authentication requirements of the server but may be required to access some services. It may also be
used for screening purposes to enable the administrator to control access to undesirable sites. The proxy
server may also be used for caching purposes, which enables faster access to frequently used websites. All
the computers connected to the LAN access the Internet through a single IP address, resulting in
improved security simply because the number of ports exposed is reduced.
Proxy servers work on the seventh layer (the Application Layer) of the OSI model, thus tending to be
application dependent unlike firewalls that work at lower layers. They are also more difficult to install and
maintain than firewalls, as proxy functions for each application protocol like HTTP, SMTP, or SOCKS must
be configured individually. However, a properly configured proxy server improves network security and
performance. Since proxy servers function at the OSI Application layer, their filtering capabilities are
relatively intelligent. For example, proxy web servers can check the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of
outgoing requests for Web pages by inspecting HTTP, GET and POST messages. Using this feature,
network administrators can bar access to illegal domains but allow access to other sites. Ordinary
firewalls, in contrast, cannot see Web domain names inside those messages. Likewise, ordinary routers
can filter incoming data traffic by port number or network address, but proxy servers can also filter based
on application content inside the messages.
WinProxy WinProxy
One of the most popular proxy servers available for Windows based systems is WinProxy. One of the
reasons for its popularity is that no software has to be installed on the client systems. This is possible
since WinProxy is a transparent proxy server, meaning that it also provides NAT (Network Address
Translation). Due to this, the client system is virtually unaware of the proxy servers existence. Apart from

the usual caching and security features, it also supports important protocols like HTTP, Real Audio/Video,
Mail, FTP, NNTP News, Telnet, Socks, Secure Sockets, DNS, IMAP 4, etc.
The WinProxy Server may be installed and configured as follows:
1. Install the TCP/IP protocol on all systems connected to the network.
2. Run the Install Wizard. The first screen is the product registration screen, which requires the user to
enter the product key.
3. The next two screens require information about the Internet connection. Select the connections type
and name.
4. Enter the username and password of the Internet connection to be used.
5. WinProxy then configures the internal and external IP addresses. It automatically assigns a unique
address to each device on the LAN as internal addresses. The IP address that the ISP assigns to the
modem/router is taken as the external address.
6. WinProxy then prompts the user to disconnect from the Internet if he/she is already connected.
7. In the final step, WinProxy works through all the steps and verifies that all operations have been
performed properly.

Iam looking for solution to build a downloadable VPN proxy like that of hotspotshield. any
idea as to how to start it all willl be highly appreciated, what I would need to set it up and
offer users free US IP and they use similar to hotspotshield?

I set up a proxy server using python and google app-engine it works fine if you are just
browsing, but if you want to log into a website, say twitter or facebook, it does work, it
gets stuck after I press log in/sign in.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

can Winproxy solve the following problem.
Problem.
We want our members to access resource databases that only allows IP automatic-login.
(no username and password)
Issue
My organisation is member based and got user a multiple locations. and we cannot control
the users IP addresses.
Environment
Users need to login to our Member site on our web-server
Solution that Im looking for
Once the User have login to our website, can we some how redirect users ip address (x) to
our ip address (y)
Thanks you for you help
memenode
You could set up your database server to accept auto-login from an IP address of your
proxy server and then provide the proxy server address or link in your members site.
This way when your members in other locations login to your member site they could,
regardless of which IP address they currently have, connect to your database server via
your proxy IP.
I'm no expert on this so those better knowledgeable correct me if I'm wrong.

Very nice.........

am a network admin recently joined in a company.The problem is how can i restrict or
block sites which are connected in lan(there are about 20 systems) with my system
only.can this be possible...
Nitin Tomer
i have a CPN connection and a internet broadband connection but CPN connection is
diffrent IPs and internet IP is diffrent, and i have a Juniper ssg 20 Router and a switch, so
my problem is that the users must have the cpn connection as well as internet connection as
our applications runs on cpn connection and for mailing purpose the user need web access
also. so please guide me how it is possible?
thanks

Nitin:
I am guessing that you mean "VPN connection"?
What you need to do is to configure your VPN for Split Tunneling.

Understanding Proxy Server Understanding Proxy Server
Proxy Server Overview Proxy Server enables you to connect the private network or
LAN to a public network such as the Internet, by acting as a gateway for internal
client computers to the Internet. Proxy Server is a secure gateway which you can
use to provide Internet connectivity for IP and IPX based networks. A gateway is a
computer that makes it possible for two networks to communicate. Proxy Server
services should run on one computer to which both the private network and the
public network is connected to. The computer running the Proxy Server services
should have two network []
DHCP Server DHCP Server
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server is used on networks that
allow computers to be automatically configured for network communication. A
DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to a computer connected to a
network from a pre-defined range of IP addresses. It ensures that no two
computers on a network are assigned the same address. DHCP can be used for
both Ipv4 and Ipv6 network addressing. However, lpv4 and lpv6 are considered
separate protocols for each model of IP address assignments. How Does a DHCP
Server Work? When a computer is connected to a network that uses the []

RPC Server Unavailable RPC Server Unavailable
An RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a technique used in computer science that allows
an application to contact a separate application or service within the same hard
drive or on a remote location. While the application initiating the call is known as
the client, the application or location that is being called is referred to as the
server. RPC is very popular and is used as a basic framework for several
networking systems. For example, RPC is used in print spoolers for communication
between a computer and a printer, fax machine, or photo copier. How RPC Works
