Combining the functionality of a proxy server and a firewall, internet connection sharing software provides connection sharing for a home network similar to a network router. Compared to Microsoft Windows ICS, these products offer additional features, which may be more reliable and easier to use. They allow you to connect all your devices to the internet through one connection with your service provider.
