Editor's review

A tool that facilitates the task of quickly changing proxy settings depending on the user’s current environment and needs.

Features: FastProxySwitch sets out to deliver the promise of its name, i.e. switch the proxy server that one is connected to, fast! Usually, changing the current Proxy Server involves the tiresome task of changing the Proxy settings within the user’s browser and this can be fairly long (and not easy to remember) if there are a lot of settings involved. In such case, as in fact, in any, where a change in the current Proxy settings is required, FastProxySwitch can step in to simplify the task. The main advantage of FastProxySwitch is that each saves each Proxy Setting configuration automatically under a different name, and changing to a given Proxy setting is as simple as selecting the appropriate saved settings information from the list (which is easily available on the System Tray agent of the FastProxySwitch application). Thus, a user needs only to spend time saving the settings and then is good to go. In case the user prefers to edit the settings in the browser, one of the best things about FastProxySwitch is that it will automatically detect the changes in Proxy Settings and will automatically save the new settings under a different name. This tool is therefore particularly useful for users that tend to work from home a lot using VPNs and other Proxy server settings to connect through a company intranet. Similarly, this can enable anonymous browsing in a host of different locations where the user seeks some level of privacy.

Overall: A very good tool that is particularly relevant for those who telecommute. The simplicity of the interface, coupled with the fact that there is a system tray icon for easy access at all times, makes it really simple to use and effective for proxy settings changes.

Publisher's description

Working in modern business environments often requires us to be on the run, switching networks, connections, rooms, VPN networks and offices. It wouldn't be so frustrating were it not for the need to change network connection settings every time you log into another network. Another challenge is that access to the necessary resources is often prevented by zealous system administrators adhering to corporate Internet usage and security policies. In such cases a well-configured proxy server can become the solution. But what if you need more that one proxy? What if you are using your laptop computer both at home and at work to surf the web privately? If you are looking for an easy-to-use answer that will allow you to quickly switch between various proxy settings and minimize the time for logging into new networks, make sure you don't overlook FastProxySwitch!
FastProxySwitch is a compact application which stays in your system tray and enables you to change active proxy settings on the go in just a couple of mouse clicks. The concept is easy: whenever you want to activate new proxy settings, just select the correct option in the dropdown menu of the software. FastProxySwitch works with both configuration scripts and proxy servers. The application is smart enough to automatically read your current proxy settings for all existing connections the first time you start it. Whenever you change your proxy settings in FastProxySwitch, the modifications are applied to your IE and system settings at once. The software also automates some routines by running cleanups and external applications before|after the change of proxy settings and removing the applied proxy settings.
Not only does FastProxySwitch facilitate networking tasks, it also protects your anonymity by deleting IE history, purging temporary Internet files, cookies, cache and incorrectly typed URL's.
Don't miss FastProxySwitch - a trustworthy network aide you can always rely on!
