CCProxy Server Configuration

We will explain the functions of CCProxy in this section. As proxy server software,

CCProxy has many useful functions. It's not only Internet connection sharing software,

but also Internet access control software. Below we will introduce all functions of CCProxy.

Main Window

Mail: To start mail proxy service.
DNS: To start DNS proxy service.
Web Cached: If checked, the HTTP proxy will load and store web pages to the proxy cache.
Remote Dial-up: To enable remote dial-up from clients.
Auto Startup: If checked, CCProxy interface will start automatically when Windows starts up.
Port Map: To start port map service. You can click the "E" button to add or edit the port map rules.

CCProxy will auto detect which IP is the local IP address and display it in the combox list.
If you find that the result is incorrect, you need to uncheck "Auto Detect"
and choose the correct local IP address from the list.
You can select multiple IP addresses as the local IP address.
When you choose one local IP address, you need to check the checkbox beside it.
NT Service: If this is checked, CCProxy will be run as Windows service.

CCProxy Bandwidth Control Function

Bandwidth control is one of special features in CC Proxy. It is the best choice
of bandwidth contoller for your company's networks, which can effectively realize
bandwidth control and limit the bandwidth of your networks. In fact,
CC Proxy Server can also work as bandwidth monitor and create bandwidth statistics report.

Control Browsing Speed, Bandwidth Control and Limit Bandwidth

You may use two parameters to control browsing speed of clients:
"Maximum Connections" and "Bandwidth".
Click "Account", open "Account Manager" dialog box, select one account and click "Edit":

Figure 1

Maximum Connections refers to the maximum connections of the client to the server at
the same time. CCProxy will refuse the extra connections of the client.

Download Bandwidth refers to the download KBytes bandwidth per second of the client.
Upload Bandwidth refers to the upload KBytes bandwidth per second of the client.

In most cases, we set the maximum connections for client as 5
and download bandwidth 10KB to limit the client's bandwidth.

Bandwidth Monitoring

When some users access the Internet through CCProxy,
you will find a moving yellow curve on the green grids of CCProxy.
It shows the total Internet bandwidth usage of your LAN.
You can adjust the display scale of the yellow curve by right clicking
mouse button on the green grids.
If you want to watch each user's current bandwidth,
you can click "Monitor" and open "Connection Information" dialog box.
Click "Account" tab, and you will see the bandwidth of each client (Figure 2).

Bandwidth Calculation, Bandwidth Statistics

Figure 2

Open the "Options" dialog box, click the "Advanced" button, select the "Log" tab and
check "Enable Flow Stats". "Flow Stats Time Interval(m)"
means how often to do bandwidth calculation (Figure 3).

Click the "Monitor" button on the main window of CCProxy, and then click
"Flow Stats" (Figure 4), you will see the bandwidth statistics text file.

Bandwidth Control Upload or Download Only

Open the "Options" dialog box, click the "Advanced" button, select the "Network" tab and you will find "Bandwidth Control Apply for" options. There are three options (Figure 5):

Upload and Download: All upload and download bandwidth will be limited.
Upload: Only upload bandwidth will be limited.
Download: Only download bandwidth will be limited.

If you are using V6.62 or above you can configure as bellow (Figure 6):

Notes: If you enable remote admin, you can manage the account list via a web browser. For example, If the proxy server address is 192.168.0.1 and the admin port is 88, you can go to http://192.168.0.1:88/ to access account management. When you open this URL, it will require a username and password.
