WinGate Version 2.1

WinGate 2.1 Proxy server / firewall solution for Windows 95™ and Windows NT™

WinGate software allows multiple users simultaneous access to the Internet with only one connection of nearly any type (modem, ISDN, leased line, etc.). WinGate runs on a single Windows 95 or NT computer, which does not have to be "dedicated" to the task. WinGate 2.1 can share a single Internet connection with nearly any computer running TCP/IP - and shares access with such popular applications as Netscape Navigator, MS Internet Explorer, Eudora, Netscape Mail, popular telnet and FTP programs, and many, many more.

Thank you for choosing WinGate 2.1 for your Internet connectivity needs. WinGate has many features to make Internet access easier and cheaper, saving you money and time, and provides a high level of security and flexibility.
