How Does InterQuick Work?

InterQuick acts as a layer between a Web browser and the Internet.  Instead of the browser connecting directly to the Internet, it will connect to InterQuick and InterQuick makes the connection to the Internet.  InterQuick fulfills requests and sends information to the Web browser, but it can produce results far faster than a browser alone.

Click here for more information on how InterQuick makes the Internet faster.

InterQuick is divided into two parts.  The InterQuick Engine, and InterQuick Manager a user interface and configuration tool.

•	InterQuick Engine - The InterQuick Engine can be run in 2 ways; as a stand-alone product, or as a WinGate Plugin.  The InterQuick engine requires very little user interface.  While running, the InterQuick engine appears on the task bar in the status area next to the clock.

To activate the InterQuick Engine options, right mouse click on the system tray icon.  The option menu appears.  Select the desired option.

To view the current status of the InterQuick Engine, move the mouse over the system tray icon and wait.  The status appears as a tool tip.

•	InterQuick Manager - InterQuick Manager serves as the user-interface for the InterQuick Engine and allows you to configure the InterQuick Engine.  InterQuick Manager is a separate program from the InterQuick Engine that allows for the ''remote configuration'' across the Internet or on an Intranet (InterQuick for WinGate only).

Remote configuration may be enabled or disabled for each engine.  By default, remote configuration is disabled.

InterQuick Manager uses TCP/IP to communicate with an InterQuick Engine.  The default configuration port is 913.

To start InterQuick Manager, simply double click on the InterQuick icon in the system tray.


How Does InterQuick Speed up the Internet?

InterQuick composes five exciting core technologies to improve your Internet experience:

•	IQstore™ Technology - a primary function of IQ that caches information, including Web Site Cache DNS Cache.

 Web Site Cache stores the content of a page on the local hard drive.  This is why using the ''Back'' button on a browser will bring a page up so quickly.  It is because the request is not sent out to the Internet; instead the request is filled locally.  The InterQuick cache provides increased functionality and user specification over the limited cache of a browser.  When re-visiting sites, InterQuick makes them available instantly.  IQ Pro Network Edition stores information requested by the entire network.

DNS Cache is incorporated into InterQuick.  InterQuick stores the IP Addresses of previously visited Web sites.  Rather than going out to the Internet for DNS look-up, InterQuick resolves the IP addresses itself.  Compare DNS caching to ''speed dial'' on a telephone, which allows the storage of frequently used numbers without the use of a telephone book.  IQ creates a DNS ''phone book'' automatically!

•	IQfetch™ Technology - employs idle time to download the next link(s) of a site.  Pre-fetching is done completely in the background and is transparent to the user.  This pre-emptive look ahead uses the available bandwidth, while a page is being viewed, to pre-load links.  This allows the next page to load at lightening speed.  IQ intelligently anticipates the next link!

•	IQschedule™ Technology allows InterQuick to capitalize on non-peak times to download sites without user intervention. The incorporation of a dialer lets InterQuick automatically connect to an ISP.  The scheduler then downloads your favorite sites.  After completion of the download, the dialer disconnects from the ISP.  InterQuick even imports ''favorites'' from Internet Explorer or Netscape by simply dragging and dropping into the scheduler.

•	IQblock™ Technology. - IQ recognizes effective use of bandwidth.  InterQuick contains advanced filtering capabilities, which can remove annoying Web page components such as banner ads, background sounds, popup windows and Java Applets.   InterQuick applies the capability to ban or approve sites.  This minimizes unproductive use of bandwidth.  IQ ensures proper use of your valuable bandwidth!

Banned Sites - The Administrator can manually ban sites that contain inappropriate material.

Approved Sites - The Administrator can manually specify sites that users are allowed to access; users can then ONLY access these sites.  This functionality is ideal in situation where Internet connectivity is provided for a specific function.  Smart Filter exceptions can also be created using Approved Sites

Site Block by Keyword  - is an optional feature that allows you to ban access based on a specified subject category  (Sex, Drugs, Hate Speech, Crime, and Extreme).  InterQuick compares the sites META keywords to a pre-defined word list containing banned words or phrases.

•	IQfilter™ Technology - InterQuick blocks unnecessary Web page content based on user-definable levels in order to reduce Web page download times.  This feature not only reduces download times by saving bandwidth, it also minimize distractions on Web pages.  IQfilter may be configured to filter various type of unwanted content such as banner advertisements, sound files, etc…


How InterQuick Communicates
How Does InterQuick Communicate with the Browser?

InterQuick acts as a proxy server, so an explanation of what a proxy server is, could help to explain how InterQuick works.

In its most basic form, a proxy server is a program that takes request from one program and gives the request to another.  In this case InterQuick takes requests from a Web browser and gives them to the Internet.  Then InterQuick passes the response back to the Web browser.

Sockets, Ports, and IP Addresses

The Internet allows communication between computers using sockets.  Sockets are created using a combination of IP addresses and port numbers.  Port numbers do not correspond to hardware port numbers on your computer.  They are numbers used to connect one socket to another.  For example, the normal port number used for HTTP is port 80, for FTP port 21.

By default InterQuick listens on port 80 for Internet Requests, and on port 913 for configuration requests.  Both of which may be can be changed.

Configuring a Browser to Use InterQuick:

To configure your browser to use InterQuick, use the included IQBrowserSetup.exe program.  If you are using InterQuick for WinGate, simply install the WinGate Internet Client on each computer you wish to use with InterQuick.  In addition, you may manually configure your browser to access the Internet through InterQuick.  This is helpful if you're using a browser other than the ones supported by the client setup, or are using a non-Windows computer.

To manually configure your browser to use a proxy server.

•	If the browser is on the same computer as InterQuick, enter ''127.0.0.1'' (127.0.0.1 refers to the local computer) for the HTTP and Secure proxy servers in your browser configuration.

(InterQuick for WinGate only) If the browser is on another computer enter the IP address of the computer, which InterQuick is running on.

•	Enter the port number InterQuick is using for accepting connections.  By default, InterQuick accepts connections on port 80.

NOTE:  You may customize the toolbar in two different ways.

1)	Use the Toolbar Options in the Options Dialog.

Right mouse click on the tool bar and select ''Customize''.


Options

The options dialog allows you to setup options of IQ Manager.  The Options Dialog is divided into several pages:

•	General Options

These options contain general type options used to configure InterQuick Manager; the options found here include the startup options.

•	Toolbar Options

This tab allows you to specify which toolbar options you would like to use.  From this tab you can enable and disable each of the toolbar buttons.

•	List Options

The list options tab allows you to change the characteristics of InterQuick Manager's right hand pane or ''List'' view.  Using these options you can enable or disable some very interesting options such as: Gridlines, Track Select, Header Drag and Drop, Full Row Select, One and Two Click Activate.


General Options

These options are miscellaneous options used to control InterQuick Manager.

•	When Starting InterQuick Manager - This option determines which actions InterQuick Manager takes upon startup.  InterQuick Manager can do one of three items when starting:

Connect to the last InterQuick Engine - Select this option if you want InterQuick Manager to always connect to the InterQuick Engine last connected to.  If the password is not saved, you are prompted to enter the password.

Ask for User ID and Password - Selecting this option forces InterQuick Manager to ask for the User ID and Password of the InterQuick Engine each time it is started.

Start disconnected - Selecting this option forces InterQuick Manager to start disconnected.  InterQuick Manager does not connect to an InterQuick Engine, and it does not ask you to connect.

•	Recent InterQuick Engine List contains - This value is used in the IQ Pro Network Edition server version to tell InterQuick Manager how many entries should be saved in its Most Recently Used list under the File menu.

•	Show ToolTips in Left Pane - This option is used to disable/enable the ToolTips, which are shown when hovering your mouse over any item in InterQuick's left pane.

•	Shaded Title - This option is used to enable/disable InterQuick's shaded title bar.

•	Show Engine Name or P Address on Title Bar First - This Option Displays the Name or IP address of the InterQuick Engine to which IQ Manager is currently connected.


Toolbar Options

The toolbar options allow you to configure InterQuick's toolbar options.

•	Buttons - Use this button to remove, add, or reposition tool bar buttons.  After clicking the ''Buttons'' button, a dialog appears allowing you to remove items from the right side, and add buttons from the left side.  You may also move button positions by selecting move up and move down.

For more information about customizing your tool bar, click here.  For other Toolbar Customization methods, click here.

•	Flat Toolbar is selected, InterQuick Manager shows the toolbar using the flat Windows 98/Office 97 style.

•	Show Toolbar Buttons in Menus is selected, IQ Manager shows the equivalent toolbar button next to the menu command.


List Options

The List options allow you to customize the right-hand pane or ''List'' view of InterQuick.  The right hand pane shows you information for the selected item in the left-hand pane or ''Tree'' view.

NOTE: some of these options are not supported by all versions of Windows 95.  If options such as Gridlines, Track Select, Header Drag and Drop, and Full Row Select do not work, your version of Windows probably does not support this extended capability.

The following are the options:

•	Gridlines - This option allows you to place grid lines or dividers between all items in the pane.  When selected, faint or gray, lines appear between all of the files and folders.

•	Track Select - This option moves a ''tracker'' or changes the color of the selection beneath the mouse when the mouse pointer moves over the top of a file or folder.  The item beneath the mouse turns a different color.  If you hold the mouse over the selection without clicking on it, the item becomes selected.

•	Header Drag and Drop - This option allows you to move the columns in the list view.  If for example, you want the ''Date'' to appear in the column before ''Size'', simply click on the ''Modified Date'' and drag it to the front of the ''Size'' column, then release.  Now, the ''Modified Date'' column is positioned before the ''Size'' column.  Your column positions are saved between sessions.

•	Full Row Select - This option selects an entire row when any of the contents of the row is selected.  Unlike normal operation, where you must click on the name to select the row, this option allows you to click anywhere on the information for the file or folder.

•	Activate Mode

Standard - Select this option if you want the control to activate an item using the Windows standard method.

One Click Activate - This option underlines the selection when the mouse is moved over it.  If clicked on a folder, the folder opens.  If clicked on an item, either it only becomes selected, it opens, or you are given the opportunity to edit the item.  This is an extended option.

Two Click Activate - This option underlines the selection only after the first click.  To open an item, you must double click on the item.  This is an extended option.


Customize Toolbar

Opens the Customize Toolbar dialog box, where you can add, remove, and rearrange buttons on the toolbars.  This command is available in the ''View | Options | Toolbar'', then by selecting ''Buttons'' or by right mouse clicking on a ''blank'' area on the tool bar.

The toolbar contains a set of default buttons.  You can remove buttons for commands that you rarely use, add other buttons for commands that you frequently use, and specify the order in which the buttons appear on the toolbar.

To restore the default toolbar button settings, choose Reset in the Customize Toolbar dialog box.

SmartFilter
Site Block with SmartFilter™ (DISCONTINUED)

SmartFilter is an optional feature that allows you to ban access based on a specified content group.  SmartFilter is broke down into various content groups (Adult Sites, Shopping Sites, Chat Sites, etc.)

The SmartFilter lists are purchased separately as a subscription and contain known sites in all categories.  InterQuick then matches the content groups specified and bans access to the sites it matches.  The addition of SmartFilter makes InterQuick a powerful tool that no parent, teacher, or employer can live without.

Frequently Asked Questions

The following are the most frequently asked questions for InterQuick and InterQuick Manager:

Q: What is the difference between InterQuick Lite and InterQuick Pro?

A: InterQuick Lite is used for single user systems.  InterQuick Lite does not expire and is FREE.  It allows you to one of the main InterQuick features that you can use for FREE!

InterQuick Pro Edition is used for single user systems.  It includes all of InterQuick's features, and the ability to disable IQ Tips.

Q: I cannot access a Web page, or it does not display properly?

A: Some Web sites insist on using Web features that InterQuick may filter. For example, some sites depend heavily on JavaScript to function properly. You have to decide whether using the Web site is more or less important to you than filtering out whatever things the site requires.   InterQuick allows the user to specify site specific filtering rules, for more information click here.

Sites that use dynamic content, (i.e. my.yahoo.com, news sites, stock quotes) that changes at a frequent interval may need to be added to the Do not cache sites list.  For more information click here:

If you cannot get a Web site to work with InterQuick even by disabling filtering, and adding the site to the Do not Cache list, you may have encountered a bug in InterQuick; please submit a bug report.

Q: When starting InterQuick ''InterQuick cannot create a listening socket on port 80, Another copy of InterQuick may be running or the port may already be in use'' is displayed.  How can I fix it?

InterQuick is an HTTP proxy server that runs on your computer. Like all Internet server programs, InterQuick listens for connections from your Web browser on a particular TCP/IP port.  InterQuick normally listens for connections on port 80 or if the installation program detects port 80 is in use InterQuick listens on the next available port. The InterQuick installation program configures your Web browsers to find InterQuick listening on this port.

Only one application at a time can listen for connections on a single port. If InterQuick generates the error message ''Cannot create a listening socket on port 80, Another copy of InterQuick may be running or the port may already be in use.''

First confirm that another copy of InterQuick is not running.  Look in the windows taskbar for two IQ icons.  If this is the case simply close the extra instance of InterQuick.  It is also possible that IQ did not properly unload, you may wish to reboot your computer once.

If only one instance of InterQuick is running you have two choices:

1.	You can figure out which other application is listening on InterQuick's listening port and change the other applications port to one that is not in use.

2.	You can change InterQuick's listening port. If you choose to change InterQuick to listen on a new port, you must also change your Web browsers to look for InterQuick on that new port number. If you change the InterQuick port number without the configuring your Web browsers, you will be unable to access the Internet.

To repeat: if you change the TCP/IP port on which InterQuick listens for connections, you ABSOLUTELY MUST also change the port on which are Web browsers will look for InterQuick. Otherwise, you'll be unable to access the Internet.  WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU PRINT THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING, because if you make a mistake you may not be able to access to Web until you correct it.

To change the TCP/IP port on which InterQuick listens for connections, perform the following steps:

1.	Open the InterQuick Manger by double clicking on the InterQuick icon in the taskbar.

2.	Select IQadmin.

3.	In the Accept Connection on Port text box enter the new value. Generally, there is no easy way to find out ahead of time whether or not a port number is being used by some other application. So, just try one and see what happens. We recommend starting with 81 and increasing sequentially, if necessary.

4.	Press the Apply button, and then exit InterQuick Manager by selecting the Exit menu item from the File Menu.

Once you find a TCP/IP port number that InterQuick can use, you must also reconfigure your Web browsers to expect to find InterQuick on the new port number.

IQblock
IQblock™

IQblock™ allows the administrator to define which web sites a user can visit.   This prevents users from being exposed to inappropriate material and minimizes unproductive use of bandwidth.  IQblock™ is divided into three categories.

•	Banned Sites - The Administrator can manually ban sites that contain inappropriate material.

•	Approved Sites - The Administrator can manually specify sites that users are allowed to access; users can then ONLY access these sites.  This functionality is ideal in situation where Internet connectivity is provided for a specific function.  Smart Filter exceptions can also be created using Approved Sites

•	Site Block by Keyword  - is an optional feature that allows you to ban access based on a specified subject category  (Sex, Drugs, Hate Speech, Crime, and Extreme).  InterQuick compares the sites META keywords to a pre-defined word list containing banned words or phrases.


IQ Lite Features (IQ Lite Only)

InterQuick Lite Edition allows you to use one of InterQuick's main features for FREE!   Registration of InterQuick Pro Edition enables all of these features and allows you to turn off ''IQ Tips''.

Site Block by Keyword

Site Block by Keyword is an optional feature that allows you to ban access based on a specified subject category  (Sex, Drugs, Hate Speech, Crime, and Extreme).  InterQuick compares the sites META keywords to a pre-defined category control list containing banned words or phrases.

META keywords are part of the HTML code, which makes up web pages.  These keywords are used by search engines to properly index web sites, and are found on virtually all web sites.  META keywords allow InterQuick to ban a site based on its primary content and not the single occurrence of a banned word.  In addition to META keywords the title of the site is scanned.

To enable Site Block by Keyword simply check the checkbox for the category that you wish to enable.

 To determine the keywords for a particular website:

•	Browse to the site and use your Web browser's option to view the HTML source for the site.

•	Look for one of the following tags.

<meta name="description" content="keyword1 keyword2 ...">

<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1 keyword2 ...">

•	Words which are between the quotation marks following content= are keywords for the site.

To modify a category control list (add a key word):

•	Click the Open Data Directory to open InterQuick’s Data Directory.

•	Double click on the appropriate control list to open it in notepad.

Sex -> SexWordList.txt

Drugs -> DrugsWordList.txt

Hate Speech -> HateSpeechWordList.txt

Crime -> CrimeWordList.txt

Extreme -> ExtremeWordList.txt

•	Scroll to the bottom of the control list and insert the keyword that you wish to add.  Wildcards "*" are supported at the beginning or end of a word.  Wildcards allow you to match partial words, for example "Adult Video*" will match "Adult Video" and "Adult Videos".

•	Save the control list and RESTART the InterQuick/WinGate Engine.  InterQuick must be restarted before changes to the control lists will take effect.
