In most cases, we may need to access some websites that are not directly accessible in our country or region. Or we may need to use some specific IP address to protect our privacy. This is when using a global proxy server becomes a very effective method. Today, I will show you how to use Proxifier Global Proxy Server to smarten up your web access.
What's Proxifier?
Proxifier is a powerful and easy-to-use network proxy tool. It helps us to route all network data traffic through a specified proxy server, no matter which application or system process. This means that we can easily access the Internet freely from anywhere, using any device, and protect our privacy.
Installing and Configuring Proxifier
First, we need to download and install the Proxifier software. The latest installation package can be found on the official website. Once the download is complete, double-click on the installation package and follow the instructions of the installation wizard to complete the installation process.
Once the installation is complete, we need to configure Proxifier to implement global proxies. Open the Proxifier software, click the "Profile" option in the menu bar, and select "Proxy Servers".
In the pop-up window, we can see several options. Click on the "Add" button so that we can add a new proxy server.
In the new Proxy Server Settings window, we need to fill in the address and port number of the server. We can get this information from our service provider. In addition, we can choose to use "SOCKS V5″ or "HTTP" proxy type. Once we have completed all the settings, click "OK" to save and exit the settings window.
Adding Applications to Proxifier
Now we have the global proxy server set up. Next, we need to tell Proxifier which applications need to connect through the proxy server.
In the Proxifier main interface, click the "Profile" option in the menu bar and select "Proxy Profiles".
In the "Proxy Profiles" window, click the "Add" button and we can add a new proxy profile.
In the new proxy profile window, we can set a name for this profile and select the proxy server to use. In addition to this, we can choose to apply this profile to all applications or only to specific applications.
In order to add a specific application, click on the "Applications" tab and then click on the "Add" button. In the pop-up window, we can select the application we want to add. Once you have made your selection, click "OK" to save and exit the window.
Enabling and testing proxy servers
Now we have successfully configured the global proxy server and added the application to Proxifier. Let's enable the proxy server and test to see if it works.
In the main interface of Proxifier, click the "Profile" menu and select "Proxification Rules".
In the Proxification Rules window, click the Add button to add a new rule.
In the new rule setup window, we can select a condition and an action. The condition can be a specific application, a target host address, a target port, and so on. The action can be either through a proxy server or a direct connection.
To test our proxy server, we can create a rule that will redirect all traffic to the proxy server we set up earlier. Select the condition as "Any Destination", the action as "Proxy" and select the proxy server we added earlier.
Click "OK" to save and exit the window.
Now, we just need to click the "Enable" button at the bottom right of the Proxifier main interface, and the proxy server will take effect.
To test if the proxy server is working properly, we can try to access some websites that were previously inaccessible or see if our IP address has changed.

By using Proxifier Global Proxy Server, we can easily smarten up our web access and protect our privacy. Installing and configuring Proxifier is very easy and requires only a few simple steps. It is also very easy to add applications and enable rules. I hope this article was helpful and wish you a smooth and trouble-free experience with Global Proxy Server!
