CCProxy control sharing of internet in LAN

It's time to present you with another good piece of software. but this time it is not a free ware, but as usual there is a work around (not cracking). The software cast here is CCProxy by YoungzSoft, a proxy server that is used to control the sharing of Internet over you LAN. Well this is not just another proxy, but is full fledged to meet all your needs.

Proxy Server
CCProxy lets all computers on the LAN access Internet through one single Internet connection. Just need to install Proxy Server CCProxy on the server which can access Internet directly and the other PC clients can connect to the Internet through the proxy software. It will provide you a cost-effective Internet connection sharing solution without losing ease of use and peace of mind.

Now lets come to the point. CCProxy can be downloaded from YoungzSoft download page. The installer is a 2.1 Mb executable and installation is a breeze. The software costs you $69 for unlimited users. The evaluation version is Fully Functional except for the fact that it supports only three users. CCP can control virtually anything with Net over LAN including

1. Users : The Server can allow selected users to access the Internet. this can be done using the users IP address, Mac address or Name. So no other person on the LAN can just change their IP and do a fraud. Also if you give the IP CCP will automatically retrieve user info including MAC and Name. In Account Settings>>NEW input the IP of user and click retrieve info and you are done. You may also specify a USERNAME and PASSWORD for each user for more security.
2. User Surfing : The bandwidth, number of live connections, sites visited and time of connection can be controlled for each user. If you give -1 as value for Bandwidth, Connections etc the user has got no restrictions.
3. Proxy and Ports : CCP also allows to assign individual PORTS for each protocol. See th Screen Shot. This increases security, also you can block selected protocols here.
4. Security : For all the server softwares to be secure they need to control interference from other users than Administrator. CCProxy allows Administrator to Set a Password to change the settings and also allows an option for users to login and change the Proxy settings via LAN. Of course the logging in through :LAN can be disabled. You can specify the site to be used for checking. The Socket IDLE time before disconnecting can also be specified..

Summary : To sum it all, CCProxy is an excellent piece of work by Youngz Soft. It give all yhe control that is required for a LAN Internet Proxy and I have never seen any product that gives you these much value for your money. If you need a proxy then don't wait go for it.
Pros :
Excellent Control for Administrator, Not a piece missing, individual Port configuration for different protocols, Light (2.1 MB )and easy to setup, Ease of use, Impresive user interface.
Cons :
None in particular, (although the price may seem to be a little over the top, CCProxy is worth every penny)

CCProxy tip to make it free (no crack required)

Here is the tip for you to make CCProxy to be used for unlimited users (CCProxy evaluation versin actually support only 3 users). Remember even though there is no liscence violation there may be future changes in there policy that may make this illegal - do this at your own risk. his does not involve the use of any cracks or serials but the plain old school method which you may guess.
We are allowed to use CCProxy as Free with 3 users and the Rootserver. So let the Internet modem be at ROOT (let his IP be 192.168.11.143). Now USER1, USER2, USER3, are immediate clients of ROOT. Run CCProxy on any one of the clients (USER1, USER2 or USER3) so you can get 3 more users. In this case take USER1 goto Cascading Proxy option at options on CCProxy running at USER1, tick the check box and enter IP of ROOT at Poxy Adress (192.168.11.143 in example) and set Port number for each Proxy Protocols (http - 808example, https, ssl etc these port numbers have to be same as given at ROOTs CCProxy, an example of the ROOTs PORT configuration is here ) individually in the textbox as shown below. This can be continued as many times as possible.
Rememer that as USER1 has to serev Internet for 3 more USERS share the bandwidth on ROOT as USER1=70% and other two as 15% so that he wont get a slowed down connection.

Remember that this applies only if all users are present simultaneously. (use your logic to understand)

Here is a grphical illustration

When you can't login to your Blogger acoount

Today I was writing a post on a new software and logged out before I went for lunch. When I returned and typed in the Blogger address the Browser showed that the server was encountering a problem, gave me an error code and said that an engineer had been notified. I had to post the review before evening and had no way left. But after a little thought I had an idea tried it and now I am here Signed in to Blogger and writing this tip.
So here is what to do when Blogger home page won't load or you can't login directly.

1. Go directly to Blogger Login Page http://www2.blogger.com/login.g and try logging in.
2. Sign in to Gmail or Google then take a New Browser Window (CTRL+N) or a New Tab (CTRL+T) and goto http://www2.blogger.com/home. This will take you to the Blogger Dashboard directly.

So the next time you face such a problem, don't miss a post.

Shut down your system after you sleep

After I wrote this post some major changes to be made had been noticed the first change is that if you use tha name shutdown.bat for the batch file there can be ambiguity with the shutdown command of Windows and when the Scheduled task runs there can be an infinite loop. The system will just open a command prompt and run the command infinitely instaed of shutdown. So what you need to do is make the batch file with some other name than shutdown.bat

There are a number of occasions when you feel asleep but can't go to sleep just because you are copying something important or because you have to just sit there for some processes to complete (eg. de-fragmenting ) and then Shutdown your computer. I have faced this many a times and decided to find something simple. although you may use system shutdown utilities there actually is no need for such programs here.

All of you know that Windows has got an inbuilt Task Scheduler. We are using this and Batch Files to make this possible. The Windows task scheduler allows at to run specific programs, open files or run scripts at pre-specified time and a Batch File allows us to run a command Line command on the Click of a mouse. So here are the steps to make the shutting down possible.

Correction! 1. Make a Batch File named Shut.bat (or whatever you need) and type in shutdown -s then save it..
2. Take START»All Programs»Accessories»System Tools»Scheduled Tasks. Double Click on New Task. No a Scheduled Task Wizard will appear. Click "Next". A dialog allowing you to select the program to be run will appear.. Click on "Browse" and Go to the folder where you saved the Shutdown.bat. Select your file and Press "OK".

If you need to open a file or something at a prespecified time select it, just make sure that in FILES OF TYPE you specify ALL FILES.

3. On the Next dialog Enter your TIME to shutdown and PASSWORD and other options if necessary. Close the wizard and you are done.

Now when the time for shutdown arrives the Batch File is automatically run and the "shutdown -s" command tells the computer to shutdown. Here a time limit of 30 seconds by default is provided before Shutdown (if you need to change this change the command -s it is given here) If you need to cancel the shutdown now goto command Prompt (shortcut WIN+R type cmd) and type shutdown -a this Aborts all Shutdown processes. .
So the Next time you are in a situation like this "go get some sleep" , the computer will take care of itself.

How I had an overnight increase in Technorati rank

When most of us hear about an overnight Technorati rank increase we will be thinking about John Chow's evil plan of pinging Techonrati had getting his own A** kicked. But this is not any stupid plan like that. This is what I had, and what everybody can do to increase their technorati rank. Like Matt over at Netbusiness Blog said
Technorati is a Joke I also believes A high Technorati Rank is not much..But the problem is that for many advertisement programs they find how important you are or how worthy you are based on Technorati ranks..

Now let me come to what happened. When I first started this blog it had zero links and had a rank near to 30,00,000 but after some link exchange with some friends I had some four link backs and my rank went up to some 7,00,000. That was it and I forgot to check my rank for some days. Then one day I checked and found to my amazement that my rank now was 2,48,179 with 34 link backs. So what was the magic that caused my Rank go up.

I had the answer very soon. I began going to all the sites I had a link back from and found that there were some completely unknown blogs even in unknown languages. But soon I found out how this happened. All these UNKNOWN blogs had a 2000 Blogger widget. I was a member of 2000 blogs and this widget shows the members links. And thats how I got on these unknown sites.

The second thing was that I used to comment on many blogs that I was on the Top commentators list. So this also provided some valuable link backs..

Conclusion: So if you need to get as many link backs as possible try the above methods. I have a post on How to Get Free Link backs do check out that also.
