HOW TO USE FREECAP TO CHANGE OR HIDE YOUR IP ADDRESS

One of the most popular tools that can be used for hiding the IP address is FreeCap. One of the major features of this application is that it can work with HTTP proxies (with or without authorization) and socks proxies. It works with socks 4 proxies and with socks 5 proxies including the ones that require authorization.

One other major feature is that it works will all major browsers and
other applications that connect to the Internet. In this way you can hide your IP address for a larger range of applications (like some of the online games). We will have a topic about this soon on our blog.

This application is FREE – which is great. The only thing that you have to take care about is finding good quality / working proxy servers. This blog is one place where you will be able to do that.

Using the product is very simple. You have to download it from this address: http://www.freecap.ru/eng/?p=download (we have tested the version 3.18) and install it.

When the application initially starts – the only application that was recognized was Internet Explorer but we have decided to test it with Firefox as well. That is why you have to manually add it. Right click in the mail window and select New Application.

Browse for Firefox main executable file.

Select it and press Open.

Now Firefox can be used for hiding the IP address.

But first you have to configure the proxy server that will be used
for hiding the IP address. In this case we have selected this
62.231.143.238:80 HTTP Proxy, the first in the Fresh Proxy list fount on this blog.

In order to set the proxy server that will be used you have to go the File menu, Settings and fill the proxy data in the Default proxy section, Proxy Settings.

Press Apply and the settings are completed.

Double click on Firefox in the main window and the browser will start

You will notice that the window title is changed – meaning that the IP address is hidden by FreeCap.

Thinks that we like about this product:

1. It is a free product

2. It can work with different kind of proxies: http and socks and with different authentication methods

3. There are many applications that can work along with it in order to hide the IP address – like games.

Things that we do not like:

1. You have to manually enter the proxies that will be used. This means effort for the users.

2. After you add a proxy – you can press OK or Apply but there is not a test function. So you have to add a proxy that is working in order to see the application working.

So overall this is a good product than we enjoy using (other post related to FreeCap
will be posted on the blog) but filling the proxy list manually is
something that we do not like. It is also true that only commercial
applications provide access to proxy lists that can be used. We did not
find yet a free product who gives access to a working proxy list.
