Cntlm

Cntlm is your go-to tool if you're looking to escape the chains of Microsoft's system! This nifty little HTTP proxy handles NTLM, NTLM Session Response, and NTLMv2 authentication like a champ. So, if you’ve ever felt stuck in Microsoft’s world, Cntlm is here to help you break free.

How Cntlm Works

So, how does it actually work? Well, Cntlm sits between your applications and your corporate proxy. It adds NTLM authentication on-the-fly. That means when you try to connect to the internet through a corporate network, Cntlm makes sure your authentication goes smoothly without any hassle. You can even set up multiple “parent” proxies, and Cntlm will keep trying them one by one until it finds one that works!

Efficiency at Its Best

This tool is all about efficiency! Every authenticated connection gets cached and reused. That means once you’re connected, you won’t have to do the whole process over again for every single application. Just point your apps' proxy settings at Cntlm and fill in cntlm.conf (or cntlm.ini)—and voila, you’re ready to roll!

Who Can Benefit from Cntlm?

This isn’t just useful for Windows users; it’s essential for anyone using non-Microsoft operating systems too. If you're tired of dealing with complex setups or constantly re-entering passwords just to access the web at work, give Cntlm a shot!

Your Gateway to Freedom

Cntlm really simplifies things when working with corporate networks. Whether you're on a Windows machine or using something else entirely, this tool can save you time and headaches.
