Tinyproxy is very useful in a small network +setting, where a larger proxy would either be too resource intensive, or +a security risk. One of the key features of Tinyproxy is the buffering +connection concept. In effect, Tinyproxy will buffer a high speed +response from a server, and then relay it to a client at the highest +speed the client will accept. This feature greatly reduces the problems +with sluggishness on the Internet. If you are sharing an Internet +connection with a small network, and you only want to allow HTTP +requests to be allowed, then Tinyproxy is a great tool for the network +administrator. - tinyproxy is a small, efficient HTTP/SSL proxy daemon released under - the GNU General Public License. tinyproxy is very useful in a - small network setting, where a larger proxy would either - be too resource intensive, or a security risk.
