Keeping the private files secure when going online and preventing third-party apps from accessing personal data are tasks of the utmost importance which all users should take care of by using the appropriate security tools.

If you feel that a firewall and an antivirus are not quite sufficient to filter and manage all the traffic and connections to and from your computer, there are other solutions you can try, one of which being the use of proxy servers.

For those who feel a bit reluctant when it comes to installing apps onto their systems as well as for users who need that type of protection and anonymity on the go, Proxifier Portable might be just the thing to use.

Through a decent looking GUI and benefiting from a good set of functions, this utility will try its best to offer you an easy to use means of monitoring and managing Internet connections established by any application on the PC it is deployed.

With Proxifier Portable you can add as many proxy servers as you want and even create proxy chains, so the traffic is re-routed through several hosts thus making it almost impossible for someone to trace the origin of the connections.

You can customize each server and assign different rules for each of them, so you can cover SOCKS version 5, SOCKS version 4, HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Wherever is the case, authentication can be enabled and you can specify the login credentials for those servers.

Each so-called 'Proxification rule' can be personalized so it applies to certain applications, hosts and ports, each rule having assigned its particular type of action. There is also a powerful logging feature available, so you can re-trace all events and view all the details for any session.

Overall, Proxifier Portable does an impressive job and manages to provide enough control and monitoring functions to accommodate the needs of a wide array of users.
