Proxy Chains

Proxifier allows you to work through a chain of proxy servers. The connection to a remote host will be performed sequentially from one proxy server to another. This mode can be useful when a remote host is accessible only through multiple proxies or when Proxifier is used to ensure a high level of anonymity.

When working through a proxy chain, keep the following in mind:

• A chain can contain proxy servers of different types: SOCKS v4, SOCKS v5, HTTPS. If you use an HTTP proxy, it must be the last one in the chain.
• If one or more proxies are not functioning, the chain will not work.
• The total lag (network latency) will be the sum of all the lags of all the proxy servers in the chain.
• If the connection is broken at one proxy, the entire connection to the remote host will be lost.

To create a chain of proxy servers, click Proxy Settings in the Profile menu and add two or more proxies. If the proxy chains area is not visible, click the Proxy Chains button and then choose Create to make an empty chain. You can now populate this chain with proxy servers from the list by dragging and dropping. If you have assigned a custom label to a proxy, that label will be used in the chain instead of the proxy address.

The connections between proxy servers will be established in the order displayed in the list (from top to bottom). You can change the order by dragging and dropping proxies within the chain. Uncheck a proxy to disable it.

To rename a chain, left click its label. Use the Remove button to remove a selected chain.

If a chain contains no proxies, the connection will be made directly.

Use the Type button to change how the chain works:

• Simple Chain (default)
• Redundancy
• Load Balancing
