i can strangle surfers @ the first cisco 2501 the packets hit.
why would i use ms-proxy to filter when i have packet filtering box
sitting dedicated to just that without having to share the os
with other non-networking related applications.
not a reason i have seen yet would convince to buy a windoze based
software that does things like hide info like workstation ip addys in
the payload of translated traffic basically crippling proxies like that use
plugins like fwtk.
piranha.
