Proxifier is an application that allows users to browse the Internet in a safe and secure manner. What makes this tool particularly effective is the ability to deal with connections that do not support proxies by using SOCKS or HTTPS proxy and chains.
Proxifier can automatically detect DNS settings and resolve hostnames through a proxy server. Using the Profile panel you can add multiple server addresses for either SOCKS (v4 and v5) or the HTTPS protocols, complete with authentication details. By creating a different set of rules, you can assign a host and port to specific applications (for blocking or directing traffic).
In order to provide additional security, Proxifier offers multiple modes of encrypting the passwords it stores.
Overall, this is a powerful application that does a bit more than your average proxy changing tool. The utility lacks a proxy list downloader but makes it up via the support for the SOCKS and HTTP protocols.
Pros
- Simple to use
