Proxifier v3 for Microsoft Windows User Manual

Connections between proxy servers will be established in the order they are displayed in the list

(from top to bottom). You can change the order using the drag-and-drop operation on proxies within the chain. Uncheck a proxy to disable it.

To rename a chain left-click its label. Use the Remove button to remove a selected chain.

If a chain contains no proxies the connection will be made directly.

Proxy Server Redundancy

Redundancy can be useful when you need to provide proxy server failover or load balancing.

To enable this feature, you need to create a proxy chain and set chain type to Redundancy or

Load Balancing.

Options... button allows you to configure failover options.

Here you can set Connection to proxy timeout in seconds and make Proxifier to Connect

directly if all proxies fail.

If timeout is too big, client applications can consider that the target host is down and they can close connection before Proxifier will try the next proxy. If timeout is too short, Proxifier can mistakenly detect proxy failure.

You can make Proxifier to recheck failed proxies in background after a certain amount of time using Recheck proxy each (sec.) option.

Failed proxy servers are marked as [failed] at the proxy list. The fail status is not saved through

Proxifier restart. You can Reset Fail Status for All Proxies thus Proxifier will try to connect the proxies all over again.

A redundancy proxy chain can look like this.
