A Windows-based content/reverse proxy server with filtering, caching, and load-balancing features. Provides secure SSL, GZip, URL rewrite, and smart failover capabilities for improved content delivery and network performance.
With IQ Proxy Server (formerly known as "IQ Reverse Proxy"), you can enjoy a wide variety of features designed to make web content management and security easier than ever. These features include SSL offloading / tunneling, failover support, RAM / DISK caching, and DDoS application firewall and load-balancing. Additionally, the software features smart failover based on both ICMP and HTTP pings and sticky sessions, giving you peace of mind even in the event of an outage.
But that's not all IQ Proxy Server has to offer. You'll also enjoy complete content proxy support for web content, including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and Gopher protocols. The proxy supports filtering based on domain, location, URL, and content, as well as DDoS / IP / domain / country-based firewalls for tighter security.
IQ Proxy Server is also incredibly fast and reliable, tested with up to 15,000 requests per second with keep-alive and ultra-fast caching. The software supports URL rewrites and Windows Active Directory, as well as forms and HTTP / 1.1 basic and digest authentication schemes. You can even limit upload / download bandwidth-per-connection, as well as connections-per-client-IP on both content / reverse proxies.
Other features of IQ Proxy Server include URL translation for a seamless browsing experience, anti-hotlinking, W3C logging, GZip compression, and much more. And with the latest release, version 5.6.0R, the cache can now hold compressed files without the need for recompression at runtime. The reverse proxy ping is HTTP(S)-based, and users can specify preferred pings for web servers from Options. Additionally, the reverse proxy can now recognize web server 500 status codes as errors, and many other features and fixes have been added.
Overall, IQ Proxy Server is a powerful and reliable solution for Windows users looking to manage and secure their web content. With its extensive list of features and improvements, it's definitely worth checking out.
