Editor's review of Bypass Proxy Client

• "Bypass Proxy Client"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Bypass Proxy Client 0.78

Stuck behind a firewall? Bypass Proxy Client claims it can unblock any Internet application, whether it's a mail client, an instant messenger, or a P2P program. Although that sounds compelling, Bypass Proxy Client disappointed us on most counts. It's very difficult to configure. You need to set up each port and application separately, whereas other SOCKS clients only require you to enter a proxy address. On the plus side, you won't have to search for a proxy server; however, the free subscription limits your bandwidth, making Bypass Proxy Client appropriate only for use with instant messengers and mail clients. You can easily find more attractive options for secure surfing.

  "Multi-function, Multi-platform... best of all worlds"

  by Pablobean on February 21, 2005

  Pros: Pretty descent when compared to all the other products. Definitely not for novices but probably the most useful product of its kind.

  Safer than using public proxies but just as flexible.

  Cons: Not for beginners.
