WFilter can act as a proxy server to share internet connection to other computers. "HTTP Proxy", "SOCK5 Proxy", "SMTP Proxy" and "POP3 Proxy" are supported.

Since all internet traffic will pass through the proxy server, WFilter is able to monitor and filter other computer internet access with proxy service enabled.

1. Enable Proxy Server

Choose "Enable Proxy" in "System Settings"->"Proxy Settings", as Figure 1:
