AnalogX Proxy

AnalogX Proxy is a very easy to use proxy server that allows you to share the Internet connection with the other computers in the network.
The application is extremely easy to use and although setting up a proxy server may sound like rocket science to many users out there, AnalogX Proxy makes everything a breeze.
All you need to do is to open the app and enable the services you wish to use, be they HTTP, FTP, NNTP, SMTP, POP3 and Socks. Additionally, the program's configuration screen lets you enable logging, but also provide a news server address.
Once you're done with the configuration process, it's enough to keep the app always running in the System Tray and configure the clients to use a proxy. That can be easily done by following a few simple steps, all of which are described in the “Readme” file included in the package.
AnalogX Proxy works like a charm on all Windows workstations, but keep in mind that you must configure the firewall to allow connections once you launch the application.
Of course, you don't need a super fast computer to run the program flawlessly, but Windows 7 users need administrator privileges to configure new firewall rules and thus allow the network machines to connect to the proxy server.
Overall, AnalogX Proxy is indeed a very handy software solution and thanks to the fact that it's so easy to use, it can be safely used by beginners and more experienced users alike. Obviously, rookies may need to read the available documentation before setting up the program correctly, but everything is easy as pie once you launch the app.
