System-wide proxy client for Windows and macOS that forces any application through a proxy. Use Proxifier with KnoxProxy to route all desktop traffic through residential or ISP proxies without per-app configuration.
Launch Proxifier and go to Profile > Proxy Servers.
Click "Add" to create a new proxy server entry.
Input the KnoxProxy gateway address and port.
Address: gw.knoxproxy.com
Port: 7000 (HTTP) or 7001 (SOCKS5)
Protocol: HTTPS or SOCKS Version 5Check "Enable" under Authentication and enter your KnoxProxy username and password.
Username: your_username-country-us
Password: your_passwordGo to Profile > Proxification Rules. Create rules to route specific applications through KnoxProxy or set a default rule for all traffic.
Click "Check" on the proxy server entry to verify KnoxProxy connectivity. Open a browser to confirm your IP has changed.

| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Check fails with "Connection refused" | Use HTTPS protocol with port 7000 or SOCKS5 with port 7001. Ensure you selected the correct type. |
| Some applications bypass Proxifier | Enable "Handle Direct Connections" in Proxifier settings. Add the application explicitly to a proxification rule. |
| Slow speeds for all traffic | Create exclusion rules for trusted applications (Windows Update, backup tools) that do not need proxying. |
USER-country-de-city-berlin-session-profile07Order matters -- geo flags before the session flag. The session name is free text; use the profile ID so the mapping is self-documenting. Password stays as issued; no flags belong there. HTTP on :7000, SOCKS5 on :7001, same credentials.
Yes. In Profile > Proxification Rules, set a default rule that routes all TCP connections through KnoxProxy instead of creating one rule per application. DNS can also be resolved remotely through the same KnoxProxy gateway, so every application on the machine appears to browse from your KnoxProxy exit IP and location.
Yes. Create multiple proxy server entries under Profile > Proxy Servers, each with a different -country-{cc} suffix on the username, then assign each entry to specific application rules under Proxification Rules. One app can exit through your KnoxProxy US IP while another uses your KnoxProxy Germany IP at the same time.
Yes. Add KnoxProxy as a new proxy server entry with port 7001 instead of 7000, and select "SOCKS Version 5" as the protocol under Profile > Proxy Servers. Enter your KnoxProxy username and password in the same Authentication section used for HTTPS, then click Check to verify the SOCKS5 connection works.
Yes. Export the .ppx profile file from Profile > Export, which carries over your proxy server list and proxification rules in one file. Team members import that .ppx file into their own Proxifier install and then just update the username and password fields to their own KnoxProxy credentials before using it.
Proxifier is the correct spelling. Proxyfier is a common typo people search for. Some searches use Proxyfire. Others type Proxifer. Proxifire also shows up often. So does Proxifyre. Every version points to the same Windows and macOS proxy client covered in this guide.
