Softpedia Editor's Review for Proxifier
|
Bypass firewall, tunnel connections through HTTP and SOCKS proxy servers
Written by Bogdan Popa on October 31st, 2011
Proxies are definitely parts of our virtual lives, especially when talking about users who struggle to bypass restrictions and firewall rules that block them from accessing their favorite services.
Proxifier is another step towards total freedom on the Internet, as the application is supposed to help users access the Internet through their very own proxy no matter the software solution they use.
As you know, some of the Windows apps we’re using do not come with in-built proxy support, so it’s quite impossible to start them if there’s a firewall restriction in place.
But not if you use Proxifier. This complex app has been designed to let any program access the Internet through a proxy, no matter if it has such an option or not.
Its interface may seem a bit overwhelming at the first load, but there’s nothing too complicated. The proxy servers can be configured in a second, while the rules are only a matter of clicks through its menus.
The saddest thing in the whole story is that you will need your very own proxy, so the application isn’t able to scan the Internet and give you one. It has detailed logs to let you know which programs are using the proxy or not, as well as detailed traffic statistics to find out what’s happening at any given minute.
Overall, Proxifier is great, as it supports a very wide range of applications and remains very light on computer resources. And although it has quite a hefty price, the thing it does is worth every cent.

Proxifier description
|
Here are some key features of "Proxifier":
· Run any network applications through a proxy server. No special configuration is required for the software; the entire process is completely transparent.
· Access the Internet from a restricted network through a proxy server gateway.
· Bypass firewall restrictions.
· “Tunnel” the entire system (force all network connections including system connections to work through a proxy server).
· Resolve DNS names through a proxy server.
· Use flexible Proxification Rules with hostname and application name wildcards.
· Secure privacy by hiding your IP address.
· Work through a chain of proxy servers using different protocols.
· View information on current network activities (connections, hosts, times, bandwidth usage, etc.) in real-time.
· Maintain log files and traffic dumps.
· Get detailed reports on network errors.
Limitations:
· 31 days trial
· Nag screen What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
Improved UI and New Visual Style:
· The new version features a significantly improved user interface. The connection list provides much more detailed information about the connections including: selected proxy server, matched rule, connection status with color indication, x64 and IPv6 mark, user name and process ID. All additional information is displayed only when needed so UI remains clean and easy to read.
Brand New Concept for Proxy Settings and Rules:
· The core Proxifier configuration has been significantly redesigned and improved. Now you can specify independent multiple proxy servers in (Profile->Proxy Settings...). It is also possible to create multiple proxy chains and manipulate them via the new UI.
· The new version allows you to assign different proxies/chains for different rules (Profile->Proxification Rules...). Thus each rule has an individual action that tells Proxifier to process the connections through a proxy or chain, to block the connection or to open it direc...
