Since iAssist is dynamic, new features and services are added automatically to the software, without the need for traditional version releases. In other words, the iAssist program you buy today will grow to include more functions in the future.

Still, you've got work to do now... Here is what iAssist can help you with today:

Web Service

iAssist's Web service modules allow you to install and manage the Apache Web server. Apache, which is by far the most popular Web server in use today, is fast, reliable, and, when managed by iAssist, easy to install and maintain. iAssist supports Apache 2 management, including SSL and virtual hosting.

General Server Management Utilities

The goal of iAssist is to take care of server management for you with a set of easy to use, graphical tools. However, Mac OS X, at it's heart, is still Unix, and sometimes you will need to take a closer look at the operation of your server. iAssist includes a set of tools that helps you do just that. Whether you need to remotely access, review, and modify Unix configuration files or perform basic command line actions, iAssist can make the job easier.

SSL Services

Virtually any Internet connection can be encrypted using SSL, allowing you to secure e-mail, FTP, and other transactions. Best of all, this protection can be applied to your existing services through a mechanism called "SSL Tunneling". iAssist can install and manage Stunnel, an Open Source utility for encapsulating other Internet protocols inside SSL connections.

Security Services

Mac OS X, based on Unix, is a multi-user operating system, with all the benefits, and problems, that implies. There are dozens of utilities and operating system functions that make an OS X server very powerful, but at the same time need to be used and managed with care. iAssist can help keep your server secure by providing an interface to manage and control access to these utilities.

Web Proxy Service

iAssist includes a ready-to-run, enhanced version of Squid, the most popular proxy server in use today. iAssist can install and set up the proxy, perform basic configuration, manage user account and other security options, and offers greatly enhanced filtering services.

If you are looking for a way to accelerate Web access for your entire network, track access usage, filter inappropriate content, improve network security, or just control how your network is used, iAssist (with Squid), is the solution you are looking for.
