Linux IP Masquerade HOWTO
Prev | Chapter 7. Frequently Asked Questions | Next

# 7.44. ( Wussing out ) - I can't get IP Masquerade to work! What options do I have for Windows Platforms?

Looking to give up a free, reliable, high performance solution that works on minimal hardware and pay a fortune for something that needs more hardware, is lower performance and did I say less reliable? (IMHO. And yes, I have real life experience with these ;-)

Okay, it's your call. If you want a Windows NAT and/or proxy solution, here is a decent listing. I don't prefer any one of these tools over another, especially since I haven't used them before.

- Firesock (from the makers of Trumpet Winsock)

  - Does Proxy

  - http://www.trumpet.com.au

- Iproute

  - DOS program designed to run on 286+ class computers

  - requires another box like Linux MASQ

  - (UNAVAILABLE) www.mischler.com/iproute/

- Microsoft Proxy

  - Requires Windows NT Server

  - Quite expensive

  - http://www.microsoft.com

- NAT32

  - Windows 95/98/NT compatible

  - http://www.nat32.com

  - Roughly $25 for Win9x and $47 for Win9x and WinNT

- SyGate

  - http://www.sygate.com

- Wingate

  - Does proxy

  - Costs roughly $30 for 2-3 IPs

  - http://www.wingate.com

- Winroute

  - Does NAT

  - WinRoute

Lastly, do a web search on "MS Proxy Server", "Wingate", "WinProxy", or goto www.download.com. And definitely DON'T tell anyone that we sent you.
