Introduction

"Proxy chaining" refers to the simultaneous use of multiple proxy servers. For example, you could route your web requests through a third-party product, then through GhostSurf, and then to the Internet (instead of through GhostSurf to the Internet). For this, you'll have to set the third-party product to use GhostSurf as its connection to the Internet, and you'll have to stop GhostSurf from connecting to your web browser. The latter step is easy in GhostSurf; this is described below. Setting up your other proxies is beyond the scope of this article; you should consult the other products' documentation.

Setting Up

GhostSurf should be the last element in the proxy chain if you want to use its anonymous features. If it's not, make sure to set its proxy settings appropriately (so it points to the next element in the chain). You can set its proxy in the Options window, GhostBlock pane. If GhostSurf is the last element in the proxy chain, you don't have to tell it to connect to a proxy.

If GhostSurf is not the first element in the proxy chain (that is, if your browser connects to something else first), then you need to tell GhostSurf not to connect to Internet Explorer (it always updates IE's settings when it starts). You can do this in the Options window, General pane; just select the "Allow proxy chaining" item.

Finally, you'll need to tell the proxy ahead of GhostSurf in the proxy chain to point to it. GhostSurf's location is:

ip: 127.0.0.1
port: 7212
