Incognito Software: Proxy Server for VINES Distribute Internet/intranet traffic to multiple servers. iProxy Server (iProxy) enables the distribution of inbound and outbound Internet/intranet traffic to multiple servers. This allows you to run multiple iSMTP, FTP and Web Servers from a single IP address or host name while filtering unwanted traffic. iProxy acts as a de-multiplexer for all your Internet/intranet services. iProxy is a server-based service that acts as a secure gateway and firewall to Internet services on your network. IProxy allows you to configure the service to allow only certain types of traffic (e.g. smtp, ftp, http, etc.), the services to handle requests, and who to service. iProxy uses the SOCKS protocol to pass data for the proxy server to its ultimate destination. iProxy communicates connection information to any Incognito services that are version 4.20 and above.

• CSM Proxy : Private Virtual Networks : CSM Proxy - Building Virtual Private Networks. A virtual private Network is just another name for an encrypted IP tunnel, typically crossing the internet. The encryption ensures a high level of privacy in the data that is exchanged, allowing a secure and cost-effective alternative to privately leased lines. Most Internet connections are not encrypted, and most data is exchanged in clear text, making the exchange vulnerable to packet sniffing. Third parties can listen on these connections, obtaining valuable information such as passwords or the content of private email. The use of encrypted tunnels prevents any third party from listening in on those connections.
