This is an overview of the Internet Concourse Terminus security server version 1.0. Terminus, when installed and used properly is an important part of a network firewall system.
Firewalls provide a perimeter defense against intrusion from the outside network.
Terminus provides a superior level of firewall protection and flexibility for small companies at a fraction of the cost of large proxy mode firewall systems designed for very large networks. Here's how it works. Terminus is a high security system designed to be used behind a packet filtering firewall. Terminus is designed to be implemented as the only destination for packets allowed by the firewall. The Terminus system consists of a series of proxy agents which allow communication with the outside world and then carry any data back to the inside for farther action.
