4. Host Operation

PROXY Pro Host runs as a Windows service whenever you start up your computer.  It can be configured to accept connections from a PROXY Pro Master user in two different ways:
 
u   "Peer-to-peer connections" between a Master computer and a Host computer.  With these connections, authentication and authorization are enforced by the PROXY Pro Host.
u   "Gateway-managed connections" between a Master computer and a Host computer through a PROXY Pro Gateway. With these connections, authentication and authorization are enforced by the PROXY Pro Gateway.
 
NOTE: By default, PROXY Pro Host allows PROXY Pro Master users who belong to the Host computer’s Administrators group (a Windows group) full access to control the Host computer and to configure the PROXY Pro Host Control Panel window for the Host computer. In addition, the default Gateway user account RemoteControlGateway also has full access.  Other PROXY Pro Master users must be added (see the “Security tab”) in order to have access to the Host.
 
PROXY Pro Host includes a Control Panel application to configure all of the Host settings, and other functionality accessible via the system tray area.
