UserGate proxy server 4.0, the Internet connection sharing tool, is the Swiss knife for network administrators.

May 07, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
UserGate proxy server is an Internet-management tool designed to connect local network users to the Internet using only one Internet connection line. UserGate helps network administrator to reduce the network load and traffic expenses. The program provides centralized control over Internet connections, bandwidth, time online; automates daily routines such as calculation of consumed traffic, client reporting and billing. For example, without any human intervention, the program can shift the user billing plan from regular to special, based on the web addresses visited, date, or specified time interval; it can restrict Internet access based on the users time online, traffic limits per day or month, IP-addresses, URL strings, or specified connection speed limits.


The administrator can view a detailed status of active sessions for each user - including IP address, user name, bytes sent or received, and visited URLs. By setting URL filtering policies, the administrator can restrict access to irrelevant websites, set up ad filters and preven bandwidth abuse. UserGate can send emails to individual users with detailed Internet statistics at regular time intervals. UserGate includes statistics module that allows making various reports on Internet usage and exporting them to MS Excel.


Among other useful features are: Network Address Translation (NAT), various user authorization methods, port mapping, resource publishing (Internet access to local network resources), HTTP resources caching, remote administration (which makes the network administrator highly mobile), and many others. Having an intuitive, well-designed interface, UserGate can be used by beginners as well as advanced users.
