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.
