Please refer to the WinProxy <a href="http://www.winproxy.cz/man14us.html">User's Manual</a> for more detailed information. Configuration for WinProxy is provided as web pages accessed through your browser. To change configuration options, select the desired area from the menu on the left. Set the desired values in the right hand pane, then press the Save button. If an incorrect value has been entered, this will be changed to the closest correct value, so check the data after saving. For the changes to have immediate effect, select the restart button from the left hand pane. If restart is not used, the changed options will not take effect until the next time WinProxy is run. After a restart, check the error logs from the main administration menu for possible problems. If there are no error messages recorded then WinProxy is operating correctly. The configuration forms are best viewed with a screen resolution of 800 x 600 or better. <hr>  <a name="network">Network </a> Proxy Port This is the port number on which WinProxy listens for requests. The default value is 3128. Use this number in the proxy setting within the browser, along with the WinProxy computer name or IP address. Enable Logging When enabled, WinProxy writes a log entry about each http-proxy request into the proxy-http.log file. Telnet Gateway If you intend to use Telnet with the Internet, this option must be enabled. Ftp Gateway Enable this feature to provide ftp gateway services. The Ftp gateway looks like username@host[:port]. RealAudio Gateway Enable this feature to provide RealAudio gateway (proxy) service. Port Appropriate port number. DNS server This is the IP address of the DNS server, if one is available. With this value set, WinProxy will appear as a DNS server to connected local computers, while forwarding DNS requests to the DNS server specified here. This option is effective in conjunction with SOCKS4 server. News server This is the name or IP address of the Internet News server. With this value set, WinProxy will appear as the News server to local computers while forwarding News requests to the server specified here. This name is usually provided by your ISP. SOCKS Server When enabled, WinProxy behaves as a SOCKS server. SOCKS Port This is the port number of the SOCKS server. The default value is 1080. Use SOCKS5 Authentication When enabled, WinProxy require user's authentication with access control. The access is controlled by the Access List. <hr>  <a name="dial">Dial </a> Connection Name The name used for the Internet connection. It is usually the name created in the dial-up networking (RAS) phone book for your ISP. Username This is the user name provided by your ISP when you arranged your Internet connection. Password This is the password you provided to your ISP when you arranged your Internet connection. Demand Dial If Demand Dial is enabled and WinProxy cannot resolve a DNS name or the destination computer is unreachable, it will connect to the Internet. With Demand Dial disabled, browsers will be presented with an error message. Schedule Dial The connection is established according to the scheduler Hang up After If no traffic occurs on the line after this period of time the connection will automatically be closed. If you are paying an hourly rate for Internet connection, set this value to 5 or 10 minutes. <hr>  á <a name="cache">Cache </a> Cache Directory The disk cache location. Cache Enabled With the cache enabled, most recently used web pages and file transfers are stored locally and are used to follow repeated requests far more quickly than an Internet transfer. Cache Size The maximum size of the cache, in Megabytes. Continue Aborted When the user breaks a connection by using the browser stop button or by selecting a new page before the current page has been completely loaded, WinProxy can continue loading the page into the cache. Then if the user returns to this page it can be presented quickly from the cache. With this option enabled, it is easy to build up a large number of connections while skipping between pages. Keep Aborted When enabled, WinProxy will store incomplete objects (pages). Cache Ftp directory only For FTP transfers only directory listings will be cached. Max. HTTP Size Maximum size of objects downloaded through http (web) protocol. Objects larger than this limit will not be cached. Max. FTP Size Maximum size of objects downloaded through ftp (file transfer) protocol. Objects larger than this limit will not be cached. Max. GOPHER Size Maximum size of objects downloaded through gopher protocol. Objects larger than this limit will not be cached. HTTP Time-To-Live This value determines the number of days that HTTP objects (web pages) are kept in the cache. Any requests for objects in the cache older than this are reloaded from the Internet. FTP Time-To-Live This value determines the number of days that FTP objects (file transfers) are kept in the cache. Any requests for objects in the cache older than this are reloaded from the Internet. GOPHER Time-To-Live This value determines the number of days that GOPHER objects are kept in the cache. Any requests for objects in the cache older than this are reloaded from the Internet. TTL based on URL You can set the number of days any object is kept in the cache based on the object's URL. URLs can be added or removed with the respective buttons. Each entry is of the form days@url, where url can include asterisks to specify a group or related URLs. Examples : 12@*www* sets a cache life of 12 days for all objects with a URL containing www. 2@ftp://*.zip sets a cache life of 2 days for all objects downloaded via FTP and terminated with .zip <hr>  á <a name="accounts">Accounts</a> User List A list of WinProxy users. The password field is optional and can be left blank. Users can change their passwords once logged on to WinPoxy. WinProxy supports up to 900 users. Group List WinProxy users can be organized into groups. Add and remove these groups here. WinProxy has a built-in group called Admins which cannot be deleted. Users belonging to the Admins group have no access restrictions. WinProxy supports up to 100 groups. <hr>  á<a name="mail">Mail </a> WinProxy can handle e-mail traffic in two different ways. Choose one that suites your requirements. The simplest one is SMTP/POP3 Gateway. None E-mail traffic will not be handled. SMTP/POP3 Gateway WinProxy will forward SMTP/POP3 requests to specified SMTP and POP3 servers. Mail Server Users will send and receive e-mail via SMTP/POP3 server running on WinProxy. Further WinProxy will download their Internet e-mail from specified POP3 servers and send outgoing e-mails to the Internet.. Sending/receiving will take place in specified intervals. Moreover, received e-mails can be sorted according to To: e-mail header. <hr>  á<a name="mail/gateway">Mail-Gateway </a> Remote SMTP Server The Internet SMTP server. The outgoing e-mails will be forwarded to this server. Remote POP3 Server The Internet POP3 server. By default this server will be used to forward POP3 requests. If you need to use different server, set username and server delimited by "#" charecter in POP3 username field in you mail client configuration. Examples: user#popserver.domain.net Eudora is a special case, you would set it's POP account as follows: user#popserver.domain.net@proxy_host <hr>  á<a name="mail/server">Mail-Server </a> Mail Directory The path name of the folder (or directory) that contains users' mail-boxes and temporary mail files. Remote SMTP Server The outgoing e-mails will be sent to this server. Send/Receive Mail E-mail is sent and received from the Internet in specified intervals. If you choose every, e-mail will be processed each time the time value elapse. Time is of the form hh:mm, hh for hours and mm for minutes. Examples: áá3:45 means every 3 hours and 45 minutes, 00:15 means every 15 minutes. If you choose at, e-mail will be processed at specified time. You can provide more values, separated by space. Examle :áá 08:00 12:30 14:45 18:00 Allow to Dial If you turn this option on you will enable WinProxy to dial-up if it is needed for mail processing. (To reach remote SMTP and POP3 servers) Enable Logging When enabled, WinProxy writes information about Mail Server activity into the mail.log file. Sorting Rules see section <a href="#mail/rules">Sorting Rules</a> Account List Contain information about users' Internet mail boxes, users' e-mail addresses and local WinProxy mail boxes. Items can be added and removed from the list with the appropriate buttons. Remote POP3 Account Specify remote username and POP3 server. The entry is of the form <a href="mailto:username@pop.server">username@pop.server</a>. Password The remote POP3 account password. E-Mail User's e-mail address. You can leave it blank if your e-mail address is the same as your POP3 account. This value WinProxy uses to distinguish whether an e-mail is for local user or for remote user in the Internet. Move to Local Account Specify WinProxy mailbox. Received e-mails will be inserted to this mailbox. If you choose a group, e-mails will be copied to all users mailboxes in the group. If you select {RULE}, received e-mails will go through sorting rules to find out appropriate mailbox. This is useful when e-mail for whole domain is stored in one mailbox. <hr>  <a name="mail/rules">Sorting Rules </a> Rule List A list of rules controlling sorting e-mails to appropriate WinProxy mailboxes according to the e-mail header To:. Items can be added and removed from the list with the appropriate buttons. If Mail header To: contains Specify content of e-mail header To:. If e-mail header contain this string it will be copied to associated WinProxy mailbox. Move to WinProxy Account Associated WinProxy mailbox. <hr>  á <a name="access">Access </a> Access List This is a list of URLs restricted to specific users or groups.Each entry is in the format scheme://host/path. Asterisks may be used an arbitrary string. Access restrictions also apply to the WinProxy web interface. The host name of the computer running WinProxy is converted to WinProxy before testing the Access List. To limit users' access to the WinProxy administration web interface add the following line to the Access List: http://WinProxy/admin/* <hr>  <a name="security">Security </a> Enable Logging When enabled, WinProxy writes a log entry into the security.log file about attempts to access WinProxy from computers not listed in the IP List or about attempts to access WinProxy via insecure interface. Secure Interfaces Use this field to enter the IP addresses of local network interfaces. Only the requests comming through these interfaces will be accepted. If this field is left blank, all computers can use WinProxy. IP List A List of IP addresses of computers which are allowed to access WinProxy. You can enter either a single IP address or a range of IP addresses. If the IP List is empty than all computers can use WinProxy. You can also specify a range IP addresses via a number of bits in the netmask, e.g. : 192.168.1.160/28. <hr>  á <a name="advanced">Advanced </a> Timeout A connection will close when it has been inactive for this period of time. It is then available for use by another process or user. Connect Retry Determinates the number of attempts to establish a connection Internal DNS Resolver When set, WinProxy performs DNS queries itself instead of asking operating system. Note: You have to set a DNS server on the page Network first. Reverse DNS When set, permits a reverse conversion of IP addresses to DNS names allowing the reporting of host names to the access log. Logs Directory The directory that contains logs files. Autoconfig File This field is used for WinProxy configuration in conjunction with Netscape Navigator. The file must be edited to insert the computer name and port of the computer running WinProxy. Set the configuration location to http://<host>:3129/autoconfig where <host> is the name of the computer running WinProxy. Parent Proxy This is the DNS name or IP address and port number of a parent proxy, if one exists. When set, all requests will be forwarded. Parent Proxy Port The port number of the parent proxy. Mapped links Mapped Links direct TCP connections on a particular port to a selected computer/port. It allows (in some cases) to cross proxy with not directly supported protocols. For example you can add IRC support by adding following link : 6667 my.irc.server:6667. á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á </body> </html>
