Proxomitron

The Proxomitron is not a firewall. The only software in your computer that will use it is software that you have told to use it. It`s name comes from How It Works - it uses a feature of the web known as a `HTTP Proxy`. This allows a program (local or remote) to sit Between your Web Browser and the Internet at large, to monitor everything and change it if you want to. All proper web browsers support a proxy interface, because it`s part of the original specifications for the web. However, some `free` service providers require that you use their proprietary browser. Some of these browsers are designed to be incompatible with any proxy or firewall.
