System-wide network proxy support for Macs
Screenshots
MacProxy is a program that provides system-wide network proxy support for Macs. It allows users to hide their IP address and navigate the internet anonymously by forwarding network settings to a proxy server. This software supports all major browsers, including Safari and Firefox, as well as applications such as Mail, iChat, FTP, and Telnet. It even has the capability to connect via iPhone, turning it into a local proxy.
One of the pros of MacProxy is its easy setup and administration. Adding a new proxy is simple, and users can monitor the amount of traffic to and from their proxy. Additionally, MacProxy is very lightweight, ensuring it does not slow down the system.
However, a downside of MacProxy is that it does not include any public proxies. This means users need to already have a proxy set up in order to fully utilize the software.
Overall, MacProxy is an ideal tool for network administrators or web surfers who want to preserve their privacy or access sites that are not normally available outside their own country.
