What is PROXY Pro Host? (from Proxy Networks)

Workgroup solution for remote access and remote control of desktops and servers inside and outside a corporate network. Centralized server ensures reliable, secure connections with all remote desktops.
Overview
PROXY Pro Host is a software program developed by Proxy Networks. The most common release is 8.0.1921, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named Phost.exe. The setup package generally installs about 47 files and is usually about 7.81 MB (8,184,664 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 82% of users of PROXY Pro Host come from the United States, it is also popular in Israel and Canada.
