iNet Shaper implements functions of internet connection sharing software, internet traffic counter (billing), router and firewall. It is based on software router with NAT, traffic shaping (optional bandwidth limitation for user), filtering capabilities, powerful user access accounting and restriction, VPN, provides detailed traffic statistics of each user, remote administration, activity monitor, activity logs.

Router identifies user by IP address and by MAC address of incoming packet. Also, user can gain access to internet with logon utility. Traffic shaper gives the posiibility of bandwidth redistribution among LAN users in case of limited internet connection speed which saves bandwidth for impotrant data transfers.

iNet Shaper counts traffic of each user as well as overall traffic, maximum allowed value of traffic per user per specified period could be set. You can define the period of traffic statistics reports and use iNet Shaper as billing system.

NAT allows user's PC to access internet directly, having internal IP's, while from the outside, it appears that all traffic is originating from the router’s single direct IP address, as well as it enhances the level of security within the LAN by hiding its internal structure.
