WINDOW PROXY SERVER SOFTWARE RECOMMENDATIONS:

What comes to your mind first when we talking about internet control inside organisation? What options available? Here are 3 most common methods:

1. Proxy
2. DNS Filtering
3. Router/Firewall built in features

Let's us talk about the router built in internet control features, here are some problems I faced:
- Many router dont indicate real time speed of each connected client. Hard to troubleshoot who is the one slow down the network.
- Router normally can do domain web filtering for HTTP traffic only, when comes to HTTPS, web filtering by domain name with wildcard is very difficult.
- Website visit history can be recorded by router for HTTP website only, HTTPS normally cannot be recorded and difficult to trace and block.
- HTTPS web filtering is very difficult and blacklisting domain one by one is too time consuming, that is why DNS filtering comes in. But router only can have one profile for DNS filtering feature. For more than one profile, normally router need to have DNAT function and change the DNS server based on source IP/MAC address. Not easy to configure and maintain.
- There are some expensive router that comes with annual subscription fee that can do these features and also have advanced graphics report but there are expensive and mostly only trained personnel can do and maintain the system.
- For DNS filtering, client IP updater is required. Router client IP updater is too limited and not stable. If you have static IP, then this is not an issue but it incur high cost.


So, what is the most cost effective and easy to use method for internet sharing and control? Answer is proxy + DNS filtering. There are many free proxy server available out there but end of the day I still go for CC Proxy for below reasons:
1. Indicating real time speed of each client. When network is slow, just open the software you know who is running highest speed and occupy how many connections
2. Accumulative bandwidth can be traced by selected period including the website they visit. If some employee is about to leave company and always connect to file upload website + data consumption is high, then you know what is happening.
3. Group feature can preset different blacklist/whitelist, DNS server address and time schedule. Any changes on the group will reflected directly to all users inside he same group. With these feature, you can apply different DNS filtering profile to different group of users.
4. Domain blacklist is very easy to add and support wildcard. If your DNS filtering website dont allow to add many sites, just add those sites in local blacklist file.
5. If you want to have ad-block function, you can download the blacklist domain from github and add another blacklist to any desired group. Group can have multiple blacklists.
6. Super secure authorization that can be any combination of IP address, MAC address and username+password method. There are some smart guy in company will try to change their IP to their manager IP to gain higher access rights or doing MAC spoofing.
7. Full access logs is available and comes with easy to use filter by users + content.
8. Web filter can prevent user download unauthorized file extension such as exe. You can prevent users download program and install on thier PC.
9. Highly restricted environment can setup whitelist web filtering mode, only domain inside the whitelist can be accessed.
10. Only 4USD per year per user, which is only 0.33USD per user per month!!! Furthermore, You can use code "KKTECH888' to enjoy 10% discount or just click here to purchase.
