To overcome this issue, here are 4 proxifier software that are able hook onto any program so that it can operate through a proxy even if the program doesn’t support it.įreeCap is a very old free proxifier that was last released on 2006 but seems to work on Windows 8.1 through a brief test. If your proxy server requires a username and password to login, this tool would not work.
Below is an example of a crawler tool called Screaming Frog SEO Spider that supports proxy, but not the authentication.
However there are some software that don’t support proxies, or the proxy authentication. Another reason to connect through an anonymous proxy is to hide your real IP address.įortunately most of the popular Internet based software such as web browsers, instant messengers and email clients support a proxy where you can enter the IP and port of the proxy server and all the Internet traffic will be routed to the proxy server. Proxy servers can also speed up loading of webpages through internal caching by serving cached web pages to users. The proxy server allows the administrator to see the websites that are being visited by the users and also blocking offensive or not-safe-for-work (NSFW) websites. However for corporate companies that require more control of their Internet usage will have to use a proxy server to manage and share the Internet connection. Normally, proxy settings are not required for home users because they are directly connected to the Internet through a modem or router.
