Why SurfPass is a better choice than proxy filtering solutions

The advantages of SurfPass compared to proxy solutions

Installing SurfPass does not require to change the network or browser setup.

Because it does not redirect the Internet flow between the router and the client computers, and because it does not add any additional relay, SurfPass is much faster than a proxy.

The SurfPass installation and setup require no network depth knowledge, nor mastery of a different system than Windows.

Identification / authentication: SurfPass identifies the Windows user of the current session. The owner of each TCP connection is automatically identified, and systems / users connections are distinguished. SurfPass does not block system connections, which eliminates the problems of security update for example. A proxy without a client part can not make these distinctions.

SurfPass fits perfectly to TSE / Citrix environments, with a simple and direct user identification.

It is not necessary to have a dedicated computer for the server, except for the networks of several hundred clients.

SurfPass does not only control the HTTP protocol but also most of the ports and services: FTP, chat, email ...

SurfPass requires less resource than a proxy, and may, for example, be installed on a disconnected laptop.

SurfPass is a much more effective filtering than proxies which only use blacklists and that can be easily circumvented by redirectors or anonymisers.

The premium version of SurfPass can control not only the use of the Internet but also Windows applications with sophisticated management rights and time metering.

The deployment of SurfPass can be automated by the GPO, as easily as the browser's setup for a proxy.
