MS Proxy Server 2

[ATCal]

I've received some bad press from people in regard to the security of MS Proxy Server. I'm looking for REASONS, not opinions,as to why I should or should not continue using it. Thanks in advance.<br>-I understand that there may be better products, but most of my clients are small biz and local gov. who won't spend big dollars.

sure to see the &quot;MS Proxy Server Security Evaluation&quot;.<br>seems it (the evaluation) was conducted by an outside auditing concern. Lots of information there.<br><br>I'm am aware of only one patch specifically for an NT server that related to potential internal network security issues; Not the Proxy Server, NT Server. There are a few registry settings that should&nbsp;&nbsp;be adjusted, things like that.<br><br>I've heard lot's of critics but have only seen one or two (faily lame) methods of attacking an NT server, none of which involved the existance of the proxy server.<br><br>There was a site, <A HREF="

that kept up with hacking exploits. They werent there when I looked recently. They got hacked. They werent running NT or the proxy&nbsp;&nbsp;server. Hmmm. I dont know. You be be the judge. <p>Amiel<br><a href=mailto:amielzz@netscape.net>amielzz@netscape.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
