Introduction
The Global Administrator Section of this user guide is
comprised of four chapters, based on the layout of the
Administrator console. This section is used by the autho-
rized global administrator of the ProxyBlocker for config-
uring and maintaining the ProxyBlocker server.

server into the existing network, and providing the server a
