Does Windows Server 2012 R2 Come With A Proxy Serer?

Question

I'm doing a test project in an attempt to learn how proxy servers work within the Windows 2012 Server R2 environment. Is there a built-in solution within the software itself? If not, what are some good open-source alternatives?

You haven't specified what type of proxy you need, I can only assume it's about forward or reverse web proxy.

Apache httpd has Windows version available and it offers both of the aforementioned features.

I believe it's forward proxy that I want – sadpandabunny Dec 19 '15 at 10:20
@sadpandabunny: You need to *know* what type of proxy you need. Otherwise, your question is not answerable. – Sven Dec 19 '15 at 10:33
@Sven ok, I need a forward proxy – sadpandabunny Dec 19 '15 at 11:37
So, given that, you can try with Apache httpd. If you ever change your mind and require a reverse proxy solution, switch to Apache httpd. :-) – sam_pan_mariusz Dec 19 '15 at 11:41

No, you need something like ISA 2003/6 or Forefront TMG.
