ProxyCap

It's not uncommon these days for users to look for privacy-enhancing solutions, and as always, the market is here to deliver a series of options for those interested in strengthening their online anonymity. The popularity of VPN services is very telling, and using proxies has always been a viable alternative for privacy-aware users.

Modifying your network's proxy can be of use in such situations, as your connection would be routed through a dedicated server, separate from your provider's. ProxyCap is a program that helps users establish proxy connections with little effort, as well as allow them to thoroughly configure their experience.

Working with proxies may sound daunting at first, but this solution is quite beginner-friendly. The interface is simple and practical, and anyone can start anonymizing their internet presence by setting a ruleset of their own.

Configuring rulesets is what you'll be doing the most, as that's the place where users can define their proxy servers, set up proxy chains, establish any rules for their connection, as well as manage the hostnames to be resolved locally, through their DNS. This solution supports proxies of the Socks5, HTTPS, and Shadowsocks types, which makes the overall proxy support quite far-reaching.

The tool is pretty robust when it comes to setting up rules for your connection. Users are able to redirect their traffic through a proxy, force a direct connection, or block it altogether. These rules can be set to function with any proxy you have set up through the app, so it's possible to create different rulesets for different proxies.

Users can also implement these rules on a per-program basis. For instance, you can specify what programs the rule would apply for, and so on. What's more, you can also set a range for the destination's IP, port, and hostname.

ProxyCap is a tool that can help users with their online privacy. By allowing one to set up and configure proxies with ease, this solution might prove useful to many.
