Version: FreeProxy 3.81 build 1514
"Seems nice and well featured"
Pros: The handling of the tool is really ok. The dialogs are well designed and it seems as if the offered features are enough and useful. I like the management of the starting of the service (cmd-box or windows service). logging is built in.
Cons: The Import function is a mess! If you abort an import, all your current users are lost! The export doesn't ask for overwrite!
The whole tool somehow doesn't work properly yet. My browsers don't get access to the internet via this proxy. But that doesn't have to mean a thing. This is the first time I try proxies ;)

Version: FreeProxy 3.81 build 1514
Pros: Nice user interface. I don't know anything about proxyservers, but with a little trial and error I did manage to get this working for my simple win98 network. And it's free.
Cons: I like that I can connect to the internet from my client, but I would also like to be able to disconnect.

Version: FreeProxy 3.81 build 1514
"Cannot believe it�s free�and no experience necessary!"
Pros: The program itself comes preconfigured. If you want to set up a quick LAN internet sharing, simply view the quick getting started guide on a fast setup, and you are ready to go�just follow the preconfigured example. I recommend that step for a small network�my network, which has two computers sharing one dialup connection, follows the given example. You don�t even have to dig into the guide at all! But if you want tighter control over your network, you should check out the help file. You can have unlimited users or as much as your network can handle. By the way, I really like the unlimited HTTP cache�which makes surfing on a dialup connection a little faster, since I visit mostly the same pages�
Cons: I really have nothing against the program but the option to run the proxy could be a little bit more simpler�

Version: FreeProxy 3.81 build 1514
Pros: This is an amazingly powerful tool for being free. It has the ability to turn your computer into a webserver or many kinds of proxy servers, makes it highly versatile. It is capable of custom time scheduling for when you want it active, making it useful for if you only want it active when you are at work/school. It also has users to restrict access to those who you do not want to have access.
Cons: Not very user friendly... it's confusing until you get the hang of it. They got a help button on most screens to help with that tho.
