A Proxy Server and Firewall Combined
WinProxy runs as an NT service or as a Windows 95/98 taskbar program (forget about scalability -- WinProxy is an Windows-only product) and works both with dynamic and static IP addresses. It's actually both a proxy server handling outgoing requests and a firewall handling incoming requests (if you have a Web server on your network or individual machine).
WinProxy does all the things that you would expect out of your proxy server. You can associate permissions with each user, limiting users to specific IP addresses and names and/or specific protocols. (For instance, you can reserve the right to receiving incoming RealAudio data streams while denying the privilege to other users.)
There's also a general file of forbidden IP addresses and domains that can be applied to everyone. WinProxy is also an easy-to-use tool for maintaining a dial-up connection to your ISP. It will monitor the connection to the ISP and automatically redial the ISP should the connection be dropped.
