WinGate Features

WinGate has, by far, the most advanced and comprehensive set of features of any proxy/firewall server on the market. Please note that there are two versions of WinGate 2.1 - LITE and PRO. Those features found only in the PRO version are followed by the words PRO Version! Below is a complete list of WinGate 2.1 features.

 
New GateKeeper Remote Control Use the powerful new GateKeeper interface to control WinGate 2.1 from any machine (2.1 Pro), with the WinGate engine running as a service.
DHCP Server DHCP automates the client network configuration for your entire LAN. With full-auto mode or manual mode, the WinGate DHCP will configure IP numbers and DNS for all your client machines.
Scheduler
PRO Version!
The scheduler allows the administrator to control many WinGate and system operations on a regular basis. Many operations can be automated, including Log file rollover, WinGate shutdown and command line execution.
Client Authentication
PRO Version!
WinGate’s WWW Proxy incorporates a Java authentication tool. This allows administrators to require authentication without the client needing to run GateKeeper. When a non-authenticated user attempts to access a web page, a ‘Sorry’ page and a logon applet are displayed.
Multiple Interface
Support
PRO Version!
WinGate can make use of multiple Internet connections to give you 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 the best throughput.
SOCKS V5 Server WinGate 2.1 utilizes a powerful SOCKS5 server with HTTP 'handover', allowing client applications such as Netscape Navigator to negotiate HTTPS, HTTP, Gopher, and more via the SOCKS protocol.
WWW Proxy The WWW Proxy Gateway allows the use of WWW browsers such as Netscape, IE, or Mosaic to access the World-Wide Web. WinGate 2.1 supports the use of HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP (passive & active) through the WWW service!
HTTP Caching New to WinGate 2.1 - customizable HTTP Caching! HTTP Caching is the process of storing recently accessed graphics, HTML documents or other files from the Internet on the WinGate machine, to allow faster retrieval.
Request Types The WinGate 2 WWW proxy is configurable to allow both Proxy and Non-Proxy requests, allowing proxy requests to be handled "normally" or piped to a Web server, or a page served from disc.
Accounting A superb LAN management tool which allows you to monitor traffic and even set up charging rates, with real-time updating.
Auditing / Logging Powerful new auditing allows you to track the actions of users, including license violations, session traffic, session creation and termination, login, authorization failures, and more!
Policies and Rights Security in WinGate is managed by the assignment of rights to individuals and groups. There are a number of rights that can be granted throughout the system.
FTP Gateway The FTP Gateway allows use of FTP client applications that support the username@hostname method of firewall traversal. Examples of this are WS_FTP, and CuteFTP, as well as command-line FTP clients.
VDOLive Proxy WinGate 2.1 now supports a direct proxy service for VDOLive conferencing.
Telnet Gateway The Telnet Gateway allows use of Telnet clients to connect to remote servers.
POP3 Proxy The POP3 proxy allows POP3 clients (e.g Eudora, Pegasus mail, Microsoft Exchange) to access POP3 servers to read their mail.
Real Audio Proxy Built-in support for the Real Audio protocol, allowing Real Audio clients to operate fully.
User Database
PRO Version!
The User database allows logging and auditing per individual user. Groups of users can be defined, and access rights can be assigned on a user or group basis.
Mapped Links Mapped links (sometimes called "plugs") are used to support applications which do not support traversing a firewall, or working through a proxy server. This includes applications such as most IRC packages and news readers.
Rules A sophisticated rules-based firewall system allows control of how the WinGate server is utilized, including service rights, system rights, and interaction with groups and users.
Dial On Demand Dial-on-demand allows more convenient use, by obviating the need to physically initiate a connection to an Internet Service Provider. The WinGate 2 dialer now supports the configuration of multiple phonebook entries.
Runs as a Service WinGate 2.1 runs as a service under both Windows NT and Windows 95! This means that WinGate starts when Windows is run... no user need be logged in.
Easier than Ever! WinGate 2.1 is even easier to use, with a much-improved self-running installation program, on-line documentation, and more!
