Product Description:
There are many network applications that do not support working through proxy servers and thus cannot be used behind a LAN or firewall(s). Proxifier solves this problem and gives you the opportunity to work with your favorite software without any restrictions. With Proxifier you can work with any Internet client (browsers, P2P, messengers, SSH, video/audio, games) through a network that is separated from the Internet by a firewall/proxy. Proxifier will provide you with added privacy in all your Internet activities. An example is sending and receiving email through a proxy server or by chaining multiple proxy servers together.
Operating System Requirements:
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
- Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
Additional Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.4 or later

Having read the 'help' section for this program, I have realized I made a error with my last review. You can access a proxy server through a proxy. sorry - my mistake!
it 'almost' does all I want - Version: 1.0, 6/12/2007 11:42AM PST

This was just what I've been looking for. It's great since I can now run things like Microsoft Messenger through tor. However, one feature, which seems to be missed out on many clients like this, is being able to connect to a proxy server through a proxy. That would be perfect for me since I could connect to MSN (which is blocked) on my school network which requires the user to enter proxy settings anyway.
Almost perfect for an initial release, but lacking in features, so for now I think I'll save my money and wait to see if anything changes.
Works as advertised. - Version: 1.0, 5/31/2007 06:39PM PST

Suddenly a whole bunch of things start working when using this, and I like that it can be run without the user having admin access. The Rule configuration is easy and flexible, and just works.
The only thing(s) I would want changed is separation of some of the user details. For example, I would like to be able to deploy this to desktops, already configured (the same server and rule settings applied to all users, just as Apple's System Preferences proxy settings apply to all users), and not have to describe to the user where they need to enter their username/password. Whether that means prompting the user as Proxifier starts, or prompting just as Proxifier first starts transmitting data.
I'm just imagining in terms of auto-deploying to 500-odd workstations, with a potential 10,000 users ("public access" lab workstations included) and trying to deploy it in as ready-to-run a state as possible. Using the keychain would also be nice/preferable (the current handling of the password makes me a little uncomfortable).
But it's a great job, coming to the rescue where companies like Skype and Thomson Research (EndNote) have failed. I'm probably more likely to recommend it to advanced users at this point, who can nut out some of its workings, until a couple of administrative things are smoothed out.
