There are a lot to choose from, each boasting of several features. The ones that you should download or buy will be dependent on what you or your network will require.



For example, even though you may install the program for the purpose of making changes to the server, you also benefit if it can be utilized with other applications and programs. A proxy changer application that can function with other Internet software, from chat, email, browsers and instant messaging means your anonymity will be ensured when you try those programs too. If the changer works for those, then there is no need to download another one.

Another vital function that you will want to look for will be how it manages the different proxies out there. At the very least the program should be capable of conducting s search for these servers. Other features you could find useful will be a tester to evaluate the server speed, the variant (high anonymous, public, SOCKS etc), and location. The latter can be very helpful because picking a server proximate to your location can speed up the connection.

A proxy changer must also have the ability to update a list, and of course, alter the server anytime you wish. Some other features include creating chains, remove any servers that are not quick enough, and of course, compatibility with several browsers. You should also get one that supports different types of connections, from dial up modems to broadband; you will never know what type you will be using, so get one that is capable of supporting several types.

If you are running a network, you can get a proxy changer that is compatible with firewalls. Before you download an application, make sure that it can monitor and disable any scripts running without your knowledge. Because most of them create a cache of files in the browser, you should download a program that will clear folders automatically. You can clean it up yourself but an automated one is better in case you forget.

These are just some of the features that you should look for, and fortunately, a lot of the software available possess these features, so getting a proxy changer to support your system is now simple to do.
