How to Setup Proxifier with TorGuard Proxy Service

Proxifier is a powerful proxy client that allows you to route specific applications through proxy servers, even if those applications don't natively support proxy connections. This guide will walk you through configuring Proxifier with TorGuard's proxy service to enhance your privacy and security.

Prerequisites

• Active TorGuard proxy service subscription
• Your TorGuard proxy username and password
• A proxy server IP address from your TorGuard client area
• Proxifier software (download from official website)

Step 1: Configure Proxy Server in Proxifier

After installing Proxifier, launch the application and navigate to Profile → Proxy Servers.

Step 2: Add New Proxy Server

Click the Add button in the Proxy Servers window to add your TorGuard proxy details.

Step 3: Enter Proxy Details

Configure your proxy server with the following settings:

Step 4: Create Proxification Rules

Navigate to Profile → Proxification Rules to specify which applications should use the proxy.

To create a rule for Firefox (as an example):

1. Click Add to create a new rule
2. Enter a name for your rule (e.g., "Firefox")
3. Click Browse and navigate to your Firefox installation:
   • Windows: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
   • macOS: /Applications/Firefox.app
4. Under Action, select the proxy server you configured in Step 3
5. Click OK to save the rule

Step 5: Verify Your Connection

Once configured, launch the application you've set up (Firefox in this example) and visit TorGuard's IP Check to verify that your traffic is being routed through the proxy.

Advanced Configuration Tips

Multiple Application Rules

You can create separate rules for different applications, each using different proxy servers or direct connections:

• Web browsers through US proxy
• Torrent clients through Netherlands proxy
• Gaming applications with direct connection
• Work applications through specific proxies

DNS Configuration

For enhanced privacy, configure Proxifier to resolve DNS through the proxy:

1. Go to Profile → Name Resolution
2. Select Resolve hostnames through proxy
3. This prevents DNS leaks and enhances privacy

Chain Proxies

Proxifier supports proxy chains for additional anonymity:

• Add multiple proxy servers
• Create a chain in Profile → Proxy Chains
• Route traffic through multiple proxies sequentially

Use Cases for Proxifier

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Authentication Failed: Double-check your TorGuard proxy username and password. These are different from your VPN credentials.
• Connection Timeout: Verify the proxy server is online at the proxy status page.
• Application Not Using Proxy: Ensure the application path in the rule matches exactly. Use the full path to the executable.
• Slow Performance: Try a different proxy server location closer to your physical location.
• DNS Leaks: Enable DNS resolution through proxy in Name Resolution settings.
