Services and Other Users
Standard Edition only
Starting form version 3 Proxifier can process applications run by other users and Windows
Services like Windows Update.
Both features are disabled by default. You can enable them at
Profile->Advanced->Services and Other Users...
NOTE: These settings are recommended for advanced users only!
Connection Loop Detection
Working with Proxifier you can get into a situation where a connection gets to an infinite loop.
Such situations can cause serious stability problems. In the worst case, network access can be completely blocked.
This can happen when there is a local proxy server running on the system (e.g. tunneling software or antivirus).
Suppose the following scenario:
1. Application initiates a connection.
2. Proxifier captures it and redirects to the local proxy server.
3. Local proxy server forwards the connection to the Internet.
4. Proxifier captures this connection and redirects to the same proxy again.
5. Step 3 is repeated.
System will repeat steps 3 and 4 forever (while the system can still handle new connections).
You can easily prevent this problem with proper Proxification Rules. Basically, Proxifier should be configured to bypass connections made by local proxy and
Handle Direct Connections options should be disabled.
Proxifier v3 also has a built-in mechanism to detect and prevent such dangerous situations. You can enable/disable this feature with Profile->Advanced->Infinite Connection Loop Detection option.
