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 Licence (GPL). tinyproxy is very useful in a + small network setting, where a larger proxy like Squid would either + be too resource intensive, or a security risk.
