What is a Proxy Server?
A proxy server allows you to use a single connection to the Internet and share it with the rest of the computers on your network. With a proxy server like AllegroSurf, you can share any kind of connection that you might have:

• Dial-up and Cable Modems
  
• Single and Dual ISDN
  
• DSL and ADSL
  
• Partial and Full T1-T3
  
• DirecPC
  

AllegroSurf supports Mac, Unix, and Linux clients so it doesn't matter what kind of computers your network consists of; they can all use the same Internet connection! In addition, AllegroSurf works on any network that supports the TCP, IP, or UDP protocol. And since it runs on the Windows 9x/NT/2000/ME platforms, you can use AllegroSurf anywhere!

It's easy to see how much time and money that AllegroSurf can save you. Just think of all the savings a proxy server solution can generate. AllegroSurf eliminates the need for:

• Extra phone lines
  
• Additional Internet accounts
  
• Additional modems
  
• Expensive support hardware
  

In addition, AllegroSurf comes with a free Network Monitor program that runs in your systray to tell you the current status of your server. It can even dial your client's modem for you if your server loses its connection to the Internet.

AllegroSurf also protects your internal network through its built-in firewall capabilities. Through binding IP addresses and internal port usage, no outside computers can get into your network to cause damage. The protection offered by a proxy server is limited to the client computers.

AllegroSurf can connect through a very large list of protocols in order to ensure that it supports the maximum amount of Internet applications possible. We even offer step-by step setup of some of today's most commonly used applications.
