Under the information given on the S@H 2/BOINC information release,
there is a heading "What will happen to programmes like SETI Queue?". I
believe SETIGate has similar functionality. I use Queue in the same way
to feed the non-internet facing PCs on my small LAN. This article points
you at a free HTTP Proxy server programme (FreeProxyV3.5). I believe
BOINC is indicating this can act in the same way.

Basically what they are suggesting, is, that everyone wanting to use B.O.I.N.C should give
each individual Client machine a direct Internet Access via Proxy.

Too bad they don't/did not realize that this is impossible for many Users :(
It also doesn't solve the Problem of each single machine having to make a such, direct
Internet Connection when its work is finished.

...just imagine all the Clients from fairly large Networks needing to go online via Proxy
individually, throughout day and night, without User presence, interaction or intervention
possible or available :p

Certainly not the way I could accept to see my Network operating... :(

I agree. I have the same problem. I can/have the permission to/ use a
lot of cpu time, but I wan't/can't use the office internet band for
cost, efficiency and security considerations.
We can hope that some BOINC/SetiGate developer read this.
