How does Proxifier work?

As you know Proxifier is a program that allows network applications that do not support working through proxy servers to operate through an HTTPS or SOCKS.

It can handle any transmission from running applications. I want to know how it can do this and how I can write one like that.

Is proxifier a VPN?

Remote workers and road warriors use Proxifier as a lightweight alternative to VPN. Flexible rules allow tunneling of selected apps and targets. A user needs to encrypt traffic for an app that does not support SSL. Proxifier forwards traffic though an SSH or SSL tunnel.

How do I know if my proxifier is working?

Alternatively you can run Proxy Checker manually in Proxifier with the toolbar button, View->Proxy Checker... or Start->Programs->Proxifier->Proxy Checker (Windows Start menu) and specify proxy details with the Proxy Server... button. Use the Start Testing button to begin the test.

A socksifier defines a dynamic library with the same functions as the OS socket layer, but defined in such a way as to use a socks proxy. The program being socksified uses that library instead of the OS-supplied one for its network communication.
