PROXY Pro 8
Gateway Edition

Host and Operate An In-House, Web-Based Remote Desktop Service

PROXY Pro 8 Gateway Edition, featuring a new web-based user interface, includes all the software and tools needed to host and operate your own web-based remote desktop service in-house.

In-House Means You Have Control

Why trust 3rd parties to manage access rights and security policies for machines in your own environment? Why go outside the network to access a remote machine in the office next door? Why pay recurring monthly fees? With PROXY Pro 8 Gateway Edition, you no longer have to ask such questions. PROXY Pro 8 Gateway Edition gives you control over all access rights and security settings, and allows you to determine who should get access to which machines. A one-time license fee means you can say 'Goodbye' to monthly recurring fees.

Web-Based Service Enables Remote Access Anywhere, Anytime

A new web-based user interface enables your service users to find, access and control remote desktops through their web browsers. Seamless, secure network connections gives users freedom to be inside or outside the corporate domain, while remote machines can be behind firewalls or NAT devices.
