Adding a WWW Proxy Server

Adding a WinGate WWW Proxy Server is simple.

1. Open the services branch on the Configuration pane.

2. Right click on any service and select ‘New Service - WWW Proxy Service’.

3. You will be presented with a service properties dialog.

4. Type in a name and description for the service, or use the default.

5. Type in the port to use, or accept the default.

Note, all services must have distinct names.

You can choose to accept the defaults for the advanced options, or configure them yourself.

You may wish to run an HTTP server on your network. To have it accessed back through WinGate from the Internet or your local LAN as though WinGate were a HTTP server:

Click on the Non-Proxy Requests tab, select “Pipe through to predetermined server” and enter the address and port number of the machine that your HTTP server is running on. You also have some other options for what to do if the WWW Proxy receives a standard (non-proxy) HTTP request.
