Configure access controls to restrict proxy usage to LAN users only

Secure the proxy server (firewall, access logs, resource limits)

Provide basic documentation for maintenance and troubleshooting

Environment:

Office LAN with 10-15 desktop users

Internet broadband connection

Proxy server will have static internal IP (e.g., 192.168.1.10)
