AutoProxy

There are various websites that don’t allow you to directly connect to their servers and access the content, so here is where a proxy server comes in handy. It acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers.

What’s more, a proxy server speeds up the access to resources and scans the entire content for malware and viruses before delivering and this is how AutoProxy works too.

AutoProxy is a simple, yet effective application whose main purpose is to automatically identify the actual network location and switch to the proper profile; thus you can change proxy settings, the DNS server or the default homepage and apply the modifications to Internet Explorer.

Using this utility you are able to create network profiles for each website and set the proxy server and port number that each one supports.

Within the main window one can simply create new network locations or edit existing ones such as proxy server and exceptions, default gateway, DNS server and wireless network SSID.

Also, the application enables you to maintain general settings and choose the Windows services you want to monitor such as DHCP clients, network list services and group policy clients.

This way, by using AutoProxy you have the possibility to scan outbound content for data loss prevention, allow the browser to make requests to websites when you meet cross-domain restrictions, as well as bypass security and parental controls.

What’s more, by using AutoProxy you can prevent downloading the same content, prohibit the browser from accessing the outside domains in a direct way and secure your online connection by anonymously browsing websites.

That being said, AutoProxy enables you to maintain as many network profiles as you want, detect running VPN applications, stop or start Windows services such as Firewall and enable or disable LAN or WLAN adapters.
