An overview of the methods of shared Internet implementation

1. Distinguishing from the way of realization

Hardware: Through routers, broadband routers, built-in routing function of ADSL modem and so on to achieve shared access to the Internet. Use the hardware method, generally can realize share, but the setting is slightly troublesome. This method works well, but the investment is also slightly higher.

Software way: Mainly through Proxy server class and Gateway class software implementation. Commonly used are WinRoute, WinGate, SyGate, Ccproxy, Usergate, Spoonproxy, Homeshare, WinProxy, Superproxy, Sinfornat, etc. There are also ICS that are brought by the Windows system. Some of these software is free, although less convenient than the hardware, but the network can be effective management and control.

2. Divide from server working mode

No server way: Just do not need any computer to act as a server, is the most ideal way to share the Internet. In fact, no server way is not really no server, but by the non-computer network devices acting as a server (such as routers, the leading role of the ADSL modem, etc.). The implementation of server-less shared Internet access relies on certain hardware devices and ISP connections, and in the case of virtual dialing, there is also a need for dial-up software built into the routing device.

Single-server mode: The use of a fixed computer as the Internet Server (gateway) of the sharing of Internet access mode. is generally not implemented without server sharing the Internet situation only to adopt the worst, but also common in order to facilitate the use of network management, such as computer rooms and internet cafes. In this way, the server must be able to withstand the test of long running time, and with the help of software or system built-in functions.

Multi-server approach: each (or more) computer can always serve as a server for the Internet, is the first compromise between the two. Because many computers must be able to assume the role of the server at any time, it is necessary to use a single network card to share the Internet, and is not convenient to use the client software, which requires the software to support a single card, can be no client. In this way, qualified software is very few, mainly sygate, Homeshare and so on a few.

Due to the different ways of Internet connection and ISP restrictions on the sharing of Internet access, it is possible to find a satisfactory sharing scheme under local conditions, which requires us to analyze the network environment from the actual, using the knowledge of their own network, to find solutions to local conditions.
