Featuring the most scalable server engine with up to 10,000 simultaneous connections for both filtering and caching content proxy and securing and accelerating reverse proxy. IQ Proxy Server features a state-of-the-art multiple-connections/thread asynchronous architecture, providing the fittest architectural design for Windows by utilizing multiple CPUs/CPU-cores and avoiding the so-called "thread hell". This unique design allows IQ Proxy Server to support more than 10k connections simultaneously! Fastream IQ Proxy Server supports all RFC-compliant web servers including Apache, IIS, OWA (yes from v2.3+, we also support WebDAV), IQ Web Server, Abyss, and Zeus as well as all HTTP/1.0/1.1-compliant web-cams. IQ Proxy offers a variety of advanced and powerful features such as: Caches static and dynamic content for ultra-hi-speed later on serving, IQP features a 3gigabits memory cache. This performance level could be achieved with only a 32/64-bit single core P4/Athlon CPU! You can limit the maximum cache object size and the total capacity. Cache contents can be viewed using the remote GUI and emptied. 256-bit SSL/TLS accelerator with support for self-signed certificate creation. Secure Sockets Layer and its version 3.1 incarnation called Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the industry standard for secure transmission on the web. With the ultimate latest open source OpenSSL library that IQP utilizes, it is capable of supporting the highest grade of security level possible for commercial use: 256-bits! This is so high that it used to be impossible to imagine on the web in the '90s. One important aspect of SSL that makes it better than SSH (Secure Shell) is the capability of signing with certificates. With this feature, Alice and Bob can really be sure that they are in fact talking with each other and no "man-in-the-middle" attack is taking place.
