What
makes WinProxy different?
The
packet-level firewall inspects the headers of every packet. Decisions
to allow or disallow the packet are based upon source and destination
addresses as well as source and destination ports. This inspection
has little to do with packet content or subsidiary headers like
URLs. "Stateful" packet filters - like WinProxy - allow
the firewall to correlate new packets with previous traffic as
part of the decision process.
WinProxy's
packet-level firewall lives 'close to the wire', between the network
card and the tcp/ip stack. This firewall makes its decisions before
the packets even reach the tcp/ip stack, and well before any applications
might see them.
The
application-level firewall regulates the tcp/ip stack from above
rather than from below. It cannot change how your system handles
individual packets, but it is well-suited to making session decisions.
Communication sessions can be limited by any number of rules,
all of them available to the administrator. These can include
decisions based upon the content of the packets.
WinProxy's
application-level firewall allows virus scanning, site restrictions,
caching, and a host of other features.
Some
Finer Points:
Interface
distinction: WinProxy makes a careful distinction between your
internal and external network interface. Many application-level
firewalls do not, and allow the user to inadvertently open holes
in their firewall. These are the basis of many known well-known
firewall exploits.
How
it works: Positioning the packet-level works as close as possible
to the wire gives you a couple of important advantages. One, WinProxy
can make sure that every packet must pass through the firewall.
Second, WinProxy can prevent other applications on the machine
- including the operating system itself - from unintended Internet
contact. Windows, for instance, has a well-known port that is
always open to contact regardless of any Windows settings. An
application-level firewall cannot close this port or prevent unseen
contact, but WinProxy can - and does.
Stealth
firewall: There is more to it than just denying contact. How you
deny contact makes a difference. The usual way that the tcp/ip
stack employs is to return a packet that means 'no application
listening'. Yelling "nobody home" at the door is not
always the best way to hide. WinProxy will instead just drop any
unsolicited packets. To the sender, their questing packets just
vanish as if there were no computer there at all.
Total
Firewall Protection: No firewall is complete without protection
from both hackers and viruses. Viruses do much more damage than
hackers, yet firewalls allow them into your network. WinProxy
is the ONLY firewall available that combines both of these functions
for total firewall protection. WinProxy software sits right at
the doorway to the internet and scans all incoming packets as
they come off the wire. Its all done automatically, and the software
is updated as often as daily to catch the latest viruses. Viruses
are killed immediately as the come in, before they have an opportunity
to infect any computer on your network. No other firewall gives
you this critical protection! Running virus protection on your
individual client computers does not protect you from viruses
that are spread by emails and downloads over the internet. In
fact, most virus protection catches the virus after it has done
it's damage. WinProxy Firewall Protection is the only firewall
that will stop the viruses before they enter your network.

test the firewall go to: www.grc.com and use the Shields Up firewall
tester. WinProxy comes up in the "Stealth" mode. Most
competitive products come up as "open".
