Latest Release: 2.3.5R (July 2, 2009)

If you want an easy-to-manage solution under Windows with low hardware requirements, here is our answer: Introducing Fastream IQ Reverse Proxy (IQRP) for Windows

IQRP features a state-of-the-art multiple-connections/thread asynchronous architecture, providing the fittest architectural design for Windows by utilizing multiple CPUs/CPU-cores and avoiding the so-called "thread hell". This unique design allows IQRP to support more than 10k connections simultaneously!

Fastream IQRP supports all RFC-compliant web servers including Apache, IIS, IQ Web Server, Abyss, and Zeus as well as all HTTP/1.0/1.1-compliant web-cams. IQRP is supplied with full 30-day money back guarantee with payment methods such as Share-it 256-bit SSL Visa/MasterCard/AMEX/Discover, PayPal, international bank transfer and bank check.

You can easily test the performance and stability of IQRP with our SSL/TLS-enabled "Fastream Web Stress Tester" tool available with OpenSSL 0.9.8e binaries here.
