WinGate X Feature List

Internet Connection Sharing
WinGate X provides three methods for sharing a connection to the Internet (Proxies, WinGate Internet Client, NAT-based General Purpose Internet Sharing) enabling you to customize WinGate X to meet the demands of your network users

Mapping Proxies
The Mapping proxies in WinGate X provide generic connectivity for both TCP and UDP applications that do not support proxy protocols. Enhanced mapping allows mapped links based on user location or dialer profile. Mapping proxies for TCP support end-to-end encryption. This allows secure WinGate X - to - WinGate X connections over the Internet or LAN.

Extended Networking Support (ENS)
Extended Network Support provides powerful Internet capabilities to users on your WinGate X network. Built around a virtual device driver, the WinGate X network extensions enable packet-level access to information on the network that enables WinGate to provide the following set of powerful new features: General Purpose Internet Sharing (NAT-based), Firewall and Port Security, Multi-Subnet Bridging (Routing).

WinGate Internet Client (WGIC)
WinGate Internet Client. This control panel applet provides Winsock redirection for the client computer. The WinGate Internet Client runs as a Windows Service. This means that it will always run in the background, whether you are logged in or not. You can run the WGIC applet for further configuration from the Windows Control Panel (click Start-Settings-Control Panel).

Support for Multiple Interfaces
Individual proxies can be bound to any set of specified interfaces, providing wider bandwidth and faster access. Combinations of modems, ISDN and direct connections are configurable on a ’per service’ level to give you full control and increased throughput.

Http Proxy Server
The WinGate X WWW proxy is a HTTP/1.1 caching HTTP proxy server. It supports HTTP requests, FTP requests, and SSL tunneling. The WinGate X WWW proxy is also a web server. Features include the ability to handle normal (non-proxy) requests in a variety of ways, which makes it a good front-end to your existing WWW server, or even an automatic site mirroring tool. It also allows cascading through another proxy or SOCKS4 server.

Ftp Proxy Server
The FTP Proxy provides access to FTP servers. It uses the username@hostname method of firewall traversal. The FTP Proxy supports non-proxy requests. This allows the proxy to act as a front end to an FTP server, or to cascade through other proxies.

Pop3 Proxy Server
The WinGate X POP3 proxy allows access to POP3 servers on the Internet for retrieving email. As with the WWW and FTP proxies, the POP3 Proxy can act as a front end to your POP3 server, giving you a seamlessly integrated mail system. It can also be cascaded through other proxies.

Socks5 Proxy Server
The WinGate X SOCKS server is SOCKS 4 and SOCKS 5 (RFC 1928) compliant. It supports RFC1929 authentication using the user accounts in the WinGate X User Database. The WinGate X SOCKS server is HTTP-aware. It can intercept HTTP requests, and handle them with the built-in WinGate X WWW proxy. This means that even your SOCKS users will enjoy the benefits of the WWW proxy (e.g. caching), and can be subject to the same security policies.

VDO Live Proxy
This proxy enables all users on the LAN to enjoy live video using the streaming video player from VDONet Corporation. You need to ensure you have the proxy-capable version of the VDOLive player for this. Non-proxy handling also allows you to run your own VDO server, for which WinGate X can act as the front end.

Telnet Proxy Server
The WinGate X Telnet proxy provides access to telnet servers. The Telnet proxy in WinGate X will support many telnet clients including Unix. Telnet also supports cascading. The Telnet proxy supports user login for further security.

Network Server
WinGate X has all the
