Portable UzysProxyActivator

Designed as the portable counterpart of UzysProxyActivator, this is a simple utility that gives you the possibility to quickly enable and disable a proxy configuration without having to restart your web browser in the meantime. This way, you don't have to lose opened tabs.

The entire application's wrapped in a single .exe file that can be saved to a custom directory on the disk or copied to a removable storage unit, in order to seamlessly launch it on any PC without setup. It doesn't create files on the disk without permission or integrate new entries into the system registry. In order to uninstall it, you simply have to delete this item.

Once launched, UzysProxyActivator creates an icon in the taskbar notifications area without signalling its presence through visual or audio means. It sits there silently without interrupting your regular PC activity, while facilitating quick access to its configuration settings at the same time.

By opening the right-click menu, you can enable or disable the Internet proxy with the click of a button. No confirmation message pops up in the center o the screen in the text step. Moreover, it's possible to specify the path to an installed tunnelling application, which will be used by this program to establish the proxy. The tool doesn't work on its own.

It doesn't implement support for multiple profiles, which would have given you the possibility to create and manage multiple proxy configurations. There are no other notable options provided by this piece of kit.

Unsurprisingly from such a feather-light tool, it was undemanding about system resources in our tests, thanks to the fact that it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly. UzysProxyActivator remained stable throughout its runtime, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or prompt errors.

On the other hand, we expected a richer set of options for a proxy configurator, not to mention the fact that it cannot work properly standalone, requiring a tunelling tool.
