Sockscap Makes Programs Support Socks5/4 Proxy

If the Internet program you are using does not have a socks5/4 proxy option or if you want to make configuring easier, then you can use Sockscap. Sockscap is a freeware made by NEC.

1) Please download Sockscap here and then run sockscap32.exe. You can see this main window of Sockscap:

2) Please click the Sockscap menu FILE -> SETTINGS to set the socks5/4 proxy. Input the socks5/4 proxy checked by Socks Proxy Checker into this dialog and tick the version of the socks5/4 proxy.

3) Click OK to save the settings, then click the menu FILE -> NEW -> BROWSE to add a program. Sockscap will make that program use the socks5/4 proxy. For demonstration, I add the game program "World of Warcraft" to Sockscap.

4) After adding to Sockscap, please double click the icon in Sockscap to launch the program by Sockscap. Now the program are using the socks5/4 proxy (which is set in Sockscap in step 2) to connect to the server.

Notes for Sockscap:

a) After changing the socks5/4 proxy in Sockscap, you have to close the program (World of Warcraft not Sockscap) and then run it again to make it use the new socks5/4 proxy.

b) In Windows Vista, you should give Administrator right to Sockscap. To do that, you need to go to your Sockscap install directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\SockscapV2). Right Click on your sc32 or sc32.exe. Then click PROPERTIES then under the COMPATIBILITY tab at the bottom, tick "Run this Program as an Administrator" then click APPLY.

c) Please set the program to use direct connection if you use Sockscap to launch it.
