SolidShare is a software that allows you to share your internet connection and provides firewall security on your LAN.
One of the most notable features of SolidShare is its wide and expandable applications support. It offers built-in support for DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, Telnet, SMTP, POP3, NNTP, PPTP, ping, Trace Route, MSN Game Zone, DirectX game, Battle.net, Westwood online, Quake, Half-life, Kali II, Unreal, Real Player, QuickTime, ICQ, Napster, IRC and more, which can be expanded by defining new applications.
The software also boasts a powerful and flexible rule-based packet filtering engine. This feature enables you to create rules such as "Permit outbound connection," "Permit inbound connection (publish your server)," "Deny outbound connection," "Deny inbound connection," and many others. You can also specify IP addresses and decide when the rule will be applied.
In its latest version, SolidShare offers a detailed event log, allowing you to monitor firewall start/stop, rule addition/deletion/change, session creation/destroy, NAT mapping creation/destroy, packet pass/drop, etc. Additionally, the log files can be parsed into human-readable texts, tables, and graphs with SolidShare Analyzer.
SolidShare's "Dial on Demand" feature allows client computers to initiate an internet connection by simply placing an internet request, and the connection will be automatically disconnected when the idle time reaches a pre-configured value.
The management console of SolidShare is simple and intuitive, integrated with Microsoft management console. It comes with a "Quick Configure Wizard" that makes setting up and running SolidShare a breeze. The "New Rule Wizard" and "New Application Wizard" enable customizing of settings effortlessly. Moreover, remote administration is supported.
Deploying SolidShare is much easier compared to other Internet sharing software as it acts like a software router, not a proxy server. This means that SolidShare only needs to be installed on the computer that's connected to the modem, and you can use most internet applications on client computers without any further configuration. Overall, SolidShare is a reliable and efficient software for secure and transparent internet sharing that makes network management effortless.
