For those who don't know how it works: btguard is a password protected SOCKS5 proxy. I am looking for an easy way to use it as an internet browsing privacy solution. Here are two options I entertained and found none of them working the way I like:

  • There's a couple socksifyer tools, which would start a program and force it to use socks proxy for all network communication. problems: 1) couldn't find any that works under windows 7 in x64 mode 2) those which start in x86 mode will not socksify internet explorer anyway

  • There's a way to configure browser to use SOCKS, but I couldn't find a way to configure browser to use password protectes SOCKS proxy.

  • It's possible to chain local proxy to the one provided by btguard, but I couldn't find any software which will do that. Can someone who succeeded post here a name of software and how to configure it?

I don't know how to do it under windows, but you can do it under Linux: http://www.squidoo.com/btguard-with-web-browser-in-linux
