SocksCap
Makes any internet program you are currently using support a socks proxy
First, let's cover what a proxy is. At its most basic a proxy is typically another computer or a server that communicates on behalf of your computer to another computer. A socks proxy is a protocol for communication that works on a level lower than an HTTP proxy. This gives it the advantage of being able to pass information between two machines prevented from communicating by the same firewall or other network policy as well as find and open ports for the sending and receiving of data in a variety of different ways including TDP/UDP. Socks proxies operate underneath almost every protocol that more modern proxies are subject to and consequently are ignored and considered obsolete by many.

- Upgrades to 64 bit readily available online
- Your gateway to the many and versatile uses of the socks protocol
- Play games over a network where a firewall would normally prevent it
Whether it just be to bypass a senseless protocol on your home network or for something more serious like hiding your IP address from prying eyes socks is still an extremely useful tool. Typically when a query is performed regarding a device's identify IPv4 and IPv6 addressed are requested before anything else. Socks traffic often slips past unnoticed and can be considerably more easy to set up and maintain than other types of proxies available. It's worth of note that disguising your identity and expecting privacy on the internet is not a crime it is a right in the United States and many other countries. If you choose to pursue a criminal activity with your newfound anonymity then you should be ready to accept the consequences for that activity. With the number of companies spying on us every day and at the very least trying to coerce us to buy things based on data they have obtained through various methods (often not all legal). It's time more of us took responsibility for our safety and privacy while online and a socks proxy is a great way to start that battle. Or if you just need a quick way to bypass your network security without taking it down this program is great for that.
The Socks protocol has been ingrained in Windows and other OSs for so long that a socks proxy can be used almost anywhere even where others fail.
The basic version is freeware.
The Socks32 program is incompatible with 64 bit systems. There is a Socks 64 bit version available.
PROS
User-friendly interface with simple setup and operation.
Supports both SOCKS5 and SOCKS4 protocols.
CONS
User interface is outdated and not user-friendly.

This application supports TCP and UDP network protocols perfectly. It can directly display the current connection information through the proxy program in tunnels to the users.
Users also get the ability to add multiple proxies and change identifications directly by switching proxies. It can also import the web browsers directly by default.
However, this application currently supports only 3 types of DNS resolution. The remote resolution can be supported directly without that much modification.
