Proxy Switcher

What Proxy Switcher is

Proxy Switcher is Windows software for changing proxy settings to support anonymous browsing and help users access restricted sites. It supports HTTP and HTTPS/SSL, SOCKS v4 and SOCKS v5, as well as Elite, Elite-SSL and password-protected or private proxies. The maker says it works with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and other programs. Registered editions add automatic proxy switching. The paid Proxy Manager module includes an anonymous proxy finder and server tester; PRO can check Elite, Elite-SSL and SOCKS v4/v5 servers, organize proxy folders and subfolders, and use custom proxy lists. The optional IP2City plugin supplies geographical location data; its database downloads automatically and updates monthly. Plans include a free option and a 15-day trial. Proxy Switcher Standard costs 29.95 EUR once, with no subscription or expiration; PRO costs 49.95 EUR once and includes all features, lifetime upgrades and free technical support. IP2City costs €29.95 a year and requires PRO version 4.0 or newer. Support is available through a ticket system, and registered users receive technical support and latest upgrades free of charge. The responsible company is V-TECH SIA, based in Riga, Latvia.
