Proxifier is a software that will allow network programs that do not support working through proxy servers operate through a SOCKS or HTTP proxy server or a chain of proxy servers.

There are many network applications that do not support working through proxy servers and thus cannot be used from LAN or with firewalls. These can compromise corporate privacy and lead you to many other restrictions.

Proxifier solves all of these problems and gives you the opportunity to work with your favorite software without any restrictions. Besides, it lets you gain extra control over network security and add more power to network functionality.

With Proxifier you can work with any Internet clients (browsers, ftp, ICQ, IRC, Kazaa, telnet, ssh, video/audio, games...) from network that is separated from Internet by a firewall (only one open port is required).

Proxifier will help secure your privacy. Send and receive email through a proxy server or a chain of proxy servers, all email clients are supported (Outlook, Eudora, Netscape and others).

Here are some key features of "Proxifier":

· Run any network applications through proxy server; no special configuration is required for the software.

· Bypass firewall restrictions (connect to restricted ports).
· Use three types of proxy servers: SOCKS v4, SOCKS v5, and HTTP.
· "Tunnel" the entire system (force all network connections in the system work through a proxy server).
· Resolve DNS names through a proxy server.
· Use flexible Proxification Rules.
· Secure privacy by hiding your IP address.
· Work through a chain of proxy servers using different protocols.
· Use NTLM authentication on HTTP proxy
· View information on current connections (addresses, rate, data transfer, connection time, etc.) in real-time.
· View information on bandwidth usage as a colored diagram in real-time.
