SurfAnonymous

SurfAnonymous is one of the apps supposed to help you stay anonymous while browsing the Internet, providing an interesting pack of features to lend you a hand in this regard.

The program comprises multiple advanced features, all of which are supposed not only to search for proxies, but also to force installed applications to access the Internet through a user-defined proxy.

The so-called “Proxy Hunter” is the right tool to look for proxies, as the program prompts the user to input the link to a proxy list and let it check them all. The “Proxy Analyzer” on the other hand verifies and displays information on the found proxies, including data such as type, location and IP.

What’s more, the “Proxy Capture” is the utility that forces all apps on your system to use a proxy server when accessing the Internet, while the “Proxy Pool” blacklists some of the invalid entries.

The whole program is quite easy to use, but we’ve experienced some errors during our testing.

First of all, SurfAnonymous doesn’t always manage to retrieve proxies from the lists you input, so you may have to try several pages before finding one that really works.

Secondly, the application doesn’t work on Windows 7 at all, as it fails to launch even when used with administrator privileges.

All things considered, SurfAnonymous is a decent program, but it clearly needs improvements to allow users benefit from all its features with ease. It’s a stable app, that’s true, but some of its tools are working the way they should.
