Web Proxy Server in VB.NET

Introduction

Web Proxy Server is HTTP proxy server written in VB.NET. It is Multithreaded so many clients can access the web through this WebProxy Server.

Technology Used

System.NET, System.IO ,System.Threading and VB.NET

About the sample

This sample is a console application which acts as a multithreaded WebProxy server.If you want to use any specific port to Listen then use that as a command line parameter other wise default 8089 port is used. It is multithreade Proxy Server that means multiple clients can communicate with Proxy server.  
Good luck and Enjoy VB.NET
