What are proxies?
A proxy is an intermediary between your device and the internet, forwarding requests between your device and the internet while masking your IP address.
How to Set Up and Use Proxifier with Proxies
Cut time on proxy setup with Smartproxy’s residential or datacenter proxies and Proxifier – the advanced proxy client.
Proxifier is a proxy client that allows users to pair unsupported network applications with SOCKS5 or HTTP(S) proxies. This way, users can mask their original IP address and avoid geo-restrictions while accessing various targets.
Use any protocol from the supported list – SOCKS4, SOCKS5, and HTTPS.
Route IPv4 connections through an IPv6 proxy and vice versa.
Manage your connections easily and integrate Proxifier with other third-party apps.
Proxifier enables customization of network connections for various third-party apps while allowing flexible proxy setup. This proxy client also offers a convenient way to monitor traffic and log errors in real time.
While Proxifier doesn't offer proxies itself, you can choose high-quality residential and datacenter proxies from Smartproxy. Residential proxies are equipped with 55M+ IPs across 195+ locations and a range of targeting options, allowing users to get a human-like connection to various targets.
Alternatively, datacenter proxies offer cost-effective, stable, and fast connections with 99.99% uptime, <0.3s response times, unlimited connections, and scalability.
For starters, download the Proxifier proxy client from their website. The client is available for Windows, MacOS, and Android operating systems. If you’re a first-timer, you can get a free 31-day trial. After the download, you’ll need to set up a profile.
