# Tinyproxy
|
|
|
|
Tinyproxy is a small, efficient HTTP/SSL proxy daemon released under the
|
|
GNU General Public License. Tinyproxy is very useful in a small network
|
|
setting, where a larger proxy would either be too resource intensive, or
|
|
a security risk. One of the key features of Tinyproxy is the buffering
|
|
connection concept. In effect, Tinyproxy will buffer a high speed
|
|
response from a server, and then relay it to a client at the highest
|
|
speed the client will accept. This feature greatly reduces the problems
|
|
with sluggishness on the Internet. If you are sharing an Internet
|
|
connection with a small network, and you only want to allow HTTP
|
|
requests to be allowed, then Tinyproxy is a great tool for the network
|
|
administrator.
