  Proxy+

  Not what I thought it was but why?

  by: The Hound on 02-Aug-2006 03:07:18 AM

  Pros: Not much

  Cons: I mistook it as a program that tunnels you through socks. I see no reason to use this when Windows has ICS and there are better performing freeware of this type around. This kind of software is a big security risk anyways unless you run lots of software to protect it and know what you're doing. It would get 2 or 3 stars for merely being "another" program of its type that's unexceptional and rarely with purpose. It gets degraded further though by the uninstaller practically not touching the app(thank goodness for Your Uninstaller 2006). You will have to bruteforce remove its files and registry entries if you don't have YI or something similar.

  Very efficient, free, stable.

  Pros: 1) Low on system resources

  2) Hugely configurable

  3) Can easily be configured to close the proxy securely (very important)

  4) Loved the idea of web based configuration. Stteings can be changed from any pc in the network [if given access ;-) ]

  5) IE, Opera, Imesh, Messenger, real, etc...all working fine.

  Cons: 1) new user might get confused with the huge list of configurations available. choice of advanced and basic user will be a good idea for next version.

  2) Content filtering, parential control missing, while ccproxy (paid) has it.

  But overall if you want to use it for home network...this is it..don't go any further.

  Can't get past the config part

  by: sammydavisrox on 18-Feb-2006 04:49:49 PM

  Pros: ...will never know

  Cons: It gives 2 Url's to use in order to configure the proxy... I tried both and they just give out a 404 error. So... thanks for nothing.
