Proxy servers are also primarily used to block certain sites and files to improve work flow and prevent unnecessary time spent on Facebook or downloading of mp3 file etc.

Firewalls
Linux firewalls have long been in use on the Internet to protect Company networks. Each year we have more and more threats coming out and the hacker communities are finding more ways to break into your company networks.
It is vital that you have excellent protection on your company WAN network. We have the experience to install a fully dedicated Linux Firewall, even connecting and protecting 5 to 7 networks on one server, depending on the amount of network cards and networks you have. Firewalls can also be used to separate your networks internally from each other or have a DMZ zone where you can host other servers as well.
Firewalls can also be used to split your Production network from you Test network etc. This is very useful for a company that needs to test certain products or software before making them live for customers.
