ProxyCap is a software solution that enables you configure the installed applications to access the Internet through a proxy, also offering some extra tools as a bonus.
The program installs and runs in a minute, but the configuration screen is the most important in this case.
Because ProxyCap can work with HTTP, SOCKS5 and SOCKS4 proxies, relying on a configuration process that's pretty straightforward and intuitive.
Truth is, beginners might feel the need for some assistance, but that's not at all a problem because the application sports a detailed help file with tons of information.
ProxyCap lets you set up new rulesets, with dedicated options for every new proxy servers, including type, hostnames, ports, resolve names remotely and authentication.
You can also set new routing rules, with multiple settings such as force direct connection or redirect through proxy, apply the rules to just a user-defined list of programs or all applications, ports, IP addresses and/or hostnames.
There are also some miscellaneous options, such as error logging because this is actually pretty important given the fact that sometimes you may experience connectivity problems.
The good thing about ProxyCap is that it sports so many configuration options via a pretty user friendly interface. On the other hand, given the fact that the market is already full of similar apps doing the same thing for free, ProxyCap may very well be considered a pretty expensive software solution.
All in all, we still recommend you to give ProxyCap a try and see what it's up to. You may be impressed. And it doesn't slow down Windows at all.
