This is very nice. Suppose it's similar to Tor in the fast switching.

Will definitely give it a try!

You should add a proxy check feature, so people know if the proxy they added still works.

You should definitely add this.
One thing you could also add is a proxy fetcher (connects to a website with free proxys and add the working ones to a list)

I will try to implement this on the next version.

This feature is bit tough since I am still new and I not sure which sites give free proxy too. But I think it's a great concept to implement in the future.

Thanks for the suggestions.

XROXY.com, I take all my proxies from there xD, but you could also google.

Thanks, that a lot of proxy to test! :)
I have updated the program with some new features such as proxy status checker. Do leave a message if the new feature is unclear on how to use and i will brush up on the documentary part.

Pretty handy tool for some I guess.

When I was disabling the proxy it didn't actually disable it. The configuration remained in IE but I couldn't connect to the proxy anymore. Also I didn't see anything like a status checker.

Just what I needed ^_^ ,, Thank you.

My apologize , i checked up this issue and its somehow doesn't fast switching when IE is used/opened. The main thing i used to toggle is with the computer proxy setting.
I recommend to use with firefox. (Tools > options> under connection(Configure how firefox connects to the internet) > settings > use system proxy settings.
About the status checker, i think the way it currently works is not really that good and its in "Edit" menu.

I will put a button for the status checker too and improve the way it toggle between proxies.

[PunkS7yle]

I suggest you ping some website like google through the proxy in the status checker to see if it works :P

I have updated the program once again, i didn't notice until Ron pointed out that the toggling of proxy with IE wasn't working very well and i overlooked the matter that users didn't know where is the check proxy status option.

Here with the new version,
- Fixed the way toggling works. (should work well with firefox and IE now. However, there still a slight delay when i used with google chrome.)
- added a button to check the proxy instead. (The check buttons will test a connection to Google for the connectivity with a timeout of 10 seconds.)

Well i guess that about it for this little tool.
