Part of an overall Firewall strategy Sits between the local network and the external network
Originally used primarily as a caching strategy to minimizeoutgoing URL requests and increase perceived browserperformance
Primary mission is now to insure anonymity of internal users Still used for caching of frequently requested files
Also used for content filtering
Acts as a go-between, submitting your requests to theexternal network
Requests are translated from your IP address to the Proxys IPaddress
E-mail addresses of internal users are removed from requestheaders
Cause an actual break in the flow of communications

Internet Service Providers use proxy servers as"holding bins" to store frequently requested pages,rather than going out and fetching themrepeatedly from the Net
Proxy server is also used to control and monitoroutbound traffic

Proxy Server is associated with firewall and alsocaching program
The functions of proxy, firewall, and caching can
be in separate server programs or combined in asingle package.
Proxy Server can be installed in the firewall toget a kind of proxy firewall

As you telnet to the outside world the clientsend you to the proxy first. The proxy then
connects to the server you requested (theoutside world) and returns the data to you

SOCKS is networking proxy protocol thatenables hosts on one side of a SOCKS server togain full access to hosts on the other side of theSOCKS server without requiring direct IP
reachability. SOCKS redirects connectionrequests from hosts on opposite sides of aSOCKS server. The SOCKS server authenticatesand authorizes the requests, establishes a proxy
connection, and relays data

Filtering firewalls don't require fancy hardware.They are little more then simple routers a 486-DX66 with 32 meg of memory a 250m hard disk (500
recommended) network connections (LAN Cards,
Serial Ports, Wireless?) monitor and keyboard

If you need a proxy server firewall to handle lotsof traffic, you should get the largest system youcan afford a Pentium II with 64meg of memory a two gig hard disk to store all the
logs two network connections monitor and keyboard

To create a filtering firewall, you don't need anyspecial software. Linux will do
The built-in Linux firewall has changed severaltimes, for the newer 2.4 kernel there is a newfirewall utility with more features

If you want to setup a proxy server you will needone of these packages
Squid
The TIS (Trusted InformationSystem) Firewall Toolkit (FWTK)
SOCKS

The TIS Internet Firewall Toolkit is a set ofprograms and configuration practices
designed to facilitate the building ofnetwork firewalls.
The toolkit software is designed to run on
UNIX systems

SOCKS can be installed both in NTsystem and UNIX system
RFC 1928 Not a true application layer proxy
SOCKS protocol provides a framework
for developing secure communicationsby easily integrating other securitytechnologies

SOCKS includes two components SOCKS server
implemented at the application layer
SOCKS client
implemented between the application and transportlayers
The basic purpose of the protocol is toenable hosts on one side of a SOCKS server
to gain access to hosts on the other side ofa SOCKS Server, without requiring direct IP-reachability.
