iGate server systems;
1- Highly secure your local network from the internet.
2- Improve the performance of web browsers through its Cache Server (File & HTTP Cache) Remember, iGate works with most networks and small to large office networks, Satellite modems, cable modems, ADSL or any other internet connection. It also lets several PCs share connections to the internet. If you are always on-line and have live connection to internet, iGate can easily protect your web and email servers. How does iGate work?
iGate server basically sits "in between" your Internet connection (Satellite, cable-modem, DSL, etc) and works directs traffic using a set of rules for the TCP/IP traffic that underlies all Internet activities. The default rules, ideal for most users, are essentially simple in nature. They allow you to "surf" to the outside world and visit web-sites, FTP, email and so forth. And as you go about your tasks on the Internet, iGate allows return traffic from those tasks, that you requested, to pass through. If, however, some random TCP/IP traffic comes in, requesting information from your computer, and that traffic is not in response to your requests, iGate Firewall refuses to respond, and logs that attempt. Thus, you are allowed to go about your normal business, but when the bad guys try to come after you, they are stopped cold, because they are not responding to your requests. Think of iGate Firewall as your friendly traffic cop down on the corner, making sure that things travel smoothly, and enforcing good rules on your Internet traffic. |
