Overview
================================================================================

GateKeeper is a proxy server firewall software package that allows an entire
computer network to share a single Internet connection. The shared Internet
connection can be anything from a dialup modem to a dedicated T1 circuit.

GateKeeper is the perfect solution for anyone seeking to share Internet access
with other machines in nearly any environment, from a small home office sharing
a single modem to a large and complex network sharing an ISDN or leased line.
GateKeeper even acts as firewall.

The GateKeeper software consists of a server component, which is installed
on the computer with the modem or other Internet connection, and a (optional)
client component, which is installed on the other computers on the network.
GateKeeper requires a TCP/IP network and the server component must be
installed on a Windows 95/98 or Windows NT computer that does not have to be
dedicated to operate GateKeeper.

New features of GateKeeper 3.0
================================================================================

1. DHCP Server 
For TCP/IP to work on your computer you must assign an IP address, specify the
subnet mask, and the default gateway for each network adapter installed on the
computer. TCP/IP can be configured in one of two ways: - automatically, if
there is a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on your intranet,
- manually, if there is no DHCP server. Use the DHCP server to support
automatic configuration and addressing for computers using TCP/IP on
your Intranet.

2. HTTP Cache
A copy of the pages you are visiting along with any resources contained inside
it is saved in the cache. The next time you want to visit the same pages the
locally saved ones are given to your browser. In this way you speed up browsing
and minimize the amount that needs to be downloaded through your modem/ISDN
connection. All pages have a time-to-live (TTL) period. After the TTL time
expires and you access the page again, it is checked against the version that
is available on the original site. If a newer version is available, it is
downloaded and saved over the older version and given to the browser. Otherwise
the local copy is given to the browser.

3. SOCKS Proxy
The SOCKS proxy allows any SOCKS 4/SOCKS 5 compatible client to access the
Internet as if the client was directly connected to the Internet. To use
SOCKS 4/SOCKS 5, you must have DNS available on your LAN.

4. User & Group Management
Permits the creation of users and groups and their management.

5. User level access control
With user level access control, you can specify rules and policies for
specific users.

6. Customizable GateKeeper configuration pages
For configuration pages, GateKeeper uses AGP (Active GateKeeper Pages) files
that are similar to the ASP files. These files contain HTML tags and VB Script
code. The files are parsed and executed with the help of a VB Scripting engine
and the resulting HTML file is given to the browser. By modifying these AGP
files you can modify the look and functionality of the configuration pages that
are delivered to the browser.

7. Proxy API allows users to write their own proxy module
An API is provided with GateKeeper, permitting users to write their own proxies.
