What is MultiProxy?

MultiProxy is a multifunctional personal proxy server that helps protect your privacy while surfing Internet as well as speeds up your downloads. It's free and easy to use and offers lots of options to protect your privacy and get the best possible performance. Just run the program and change your connection settings to reflect a local proxy server and the proper port. Once you're connected to the Internet in this way, it shouldn't be possible for remote servers to ascertain your identity because MultiProxy will automatically connect to random proxy servers, thus hiding your true IP address. Beyond that, you can use this tool to try alternative routes to improve your connection speed to specific servers. Multithreading, logging support, and a user-configurable server list are among the available options. Individual results may vary due to hardware and locale.


How does it work?

MultiProxy randomly chooses proxy server from a list, and uses it for a single connection, thus greatly decreasing chances of being identified by the web-site. In the web-site's log it will appear as if there were several users with multiple IP addresses connecting at the same time. Also because different requests will be coming via different routes it will be much more difficult for an eavesdropper or packet sniffer to assemble the full picture.

Accept connections on port:
Enter port number here (8088, for example) that you want MultiProxy to accept connections on. You should configure your browser to use IP 127.0.0.1 and this port number in order to use MultiProxy.


Maximum number of simultaneous connections
Maximum number of simultaneous connections MultiProxy should try to use. Every connection requires up to two separate threads. Recommended setting for low-end systems = 4-8, for high-end systems = 8-32.


Default connection timeout in seconds or maximum ping time. If it takes longer to connect to a proxy server it will be considere
Default connection timeout in seconds or maximum ping time. If it takes longer to connect to a proxy server it will be considered non-responding and marked with a red dot. Recommended setting for low-bandwidth connection (56K modem) = 20-40, for high-bandwidth connection (DSL, cable modem) = 10-20.


Test all proxy servers for accessibility and anonymity every time MultiProxy starts up.


Start MultiProxy in minimized state. It will be automatically parked into System Tray.
