Proxylizer/Introduction

What is Proxylizer

Mikrotik Proxylizer is a convenient system with web interface for web-proxy log storage in database and report generation from stored logs.

Using web interface system administrators define reports which are sent to specified email address - what data must be collected and when the report has to be generated. Periodic reports are available: daily, weekly and monthly.
