Although building proxy servers with tools such as Shadowshocks enables accessing to blocked websites via proxy, that works only for web browsers, not for other web applications to use its proxy setting. We call such proxy mode a local proxy. If you need to make your proxy settings available to local network programs like a web browser, then you need an auxiliary tool like Proxifier to implement a global proxy.

Proxifier is an advanced, powerful but simple and easy-to-use proxy client for Windows and Mac platforms, functionally similar to SocksCap64, developed by Initex from Russia. It can set up HTTPS or SOCKS proxy and proxy chains separately for various network applications (even some processes running in the background) that cannot work with proxy servers originally. Proxifier supports various proxy protocols (e.g. SOCKS4, SOCKS5, HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, UDP), supports a variety of running modes (for example: can specify port, specify IP, specify domain name, specify program), and has a very good compatibility.

Proxifier provides a simple way to monitor and manage the Internet connections it establishes for any application. With Proxifier, users can add as many proxy servers as they need, or even create proxy chains. This way, the Internet traffic will be rerouted across multiple hosts around the world, making it nearly impossible for others to track the source of an Internet connection. You can also customize each proxy server and assign different rules to each of them. In addition, Proxifier also has a powerful logging feature, which allows user to track all events and view all the details of any session.

// Use Cases //

• In a corporate network of 500 computers, Proxifier is deployed to forward connections through the proxy. The configuration gets managed remotely from a single control point.
• A gamer from Asia has connectivity problems when playing on a US server. With Proxifier, he optimizes the routing with a chain of proxy servers.
• A user needs to load-balance connections across multiple proxies. Proxifier can do this and also provide an automatic fallback if proxy is down.
• Remote workers and road warriors use Proxifier as a lightweight alternative to VPN. Flexible rules allow tunneling of selected apps and targets.
• A user needs to encrypt traffic for an app that does not support SSL. Proxifier forwards traffic though an SSH or SSL tunnel.
