Working through a chain of proxy servers

With Proxifier you can work through a chain of proxy servers (SOCKS4, SOCKS5, HTTP). Connecting to a remote host will be performed sequentially from one proxy server to another, thus, you will securely hide you actual IP address from the remote host.


To create a chain of proxy servers, click Proxy Settings in the Options menu and add two or more proxies. Connections between proxy servers will be established in the order they are displayed in the list. You can change the order using the arrow buttons in the right-hand part of the window:

(These are not real proxies, only a sample)

 

Hint: uncheck proxy to disable it.

 

When working through a chain of proxies, mind the following:

  • A chain can contain proxy servers of different types (SOCKS v4, SOCKS v5, HTTP)
  • If at least one proxy is not functioning, the entire chain will not work
  • The total lag will be the sum of all lags at all proxy servers in the chain
  • If the connection is terminated at one proxy, the connection to the remote host is lost
