Sygate and Nevod - NAT sygate.com nevod.com Here's some stuff from a trial user of Sygate. I personally like the bit about "invisible to all software". ------------------------------------------------------------- From: +Mike Schoonmaker Sygate - not actually a proxy server, but a NAT (Network Address Translator). I found this product to be virtually invisible to all software, which is a VERY nice feature! EVEN worked with iChat ActiveX chat client without a hitch (neither of the others would-wingate/winproxy). Their demo version is kinda crippled, it does allow trial, but requests/receives the packets in sequential fashion until one purchases the product license key. What this means is, If you're trying out on (2) machines, the first machine making a request gets ALL of the bandwidth... the secondary machine must WAIT for no activity, before that request is processed. After a timeout period, the secondary machine gains "control", and the first machine must wait for a similar timeout period before getting anymore access. The people at SyGate say that this does NOT occur in the licensed version. Two downsides to Sygate for me... 1) can't restrict access to certain sites/addresses/ports (got to keep daughter off of the IRC channels), and 2) no NT version available for trial. If blocking access is not a problem for you, I thing SyGate offers the most invisible product. Nevod - have not tested _______________________________________________ nat vs proxy server explanation: nevod.com sygate.com ---------------- If I decided to go NAT rather than a Proxy Server, I just need to decide between Sygate and Nevod. S.W.
