Free software to share Internet connections between two or more users

FreeProxy is a free Development & IT networking system which enables two or more users to share an Internet connection. Originally released as far back as 1999, it is still a viable tool for both business and personal requirements. There are a number of different proxy services available and these are often chosen based upon the operating system as well as the type of desired connection.

Core Features and Functions

FreeProxy can be used as a general communications and data-sharing tool while it also serves as a means to effectively filter specific URLs. Although not necessarily a virtual private network (VPN) server, it can still offer a basic level of protection in the event that a user is concerned about possible data theft. The majority of those who have downloaded this service are individuals although it is not uncommon for small- to medium-sized businesses to employ its network-sharing capabilities.

Additional Benefits

FreeProxy was voted as being the best proxy server in 2007 by PC magazine and it is estimated that well over 500,000 downloads have already taken place since its release. Some proxy choices include HTTP, SOCKS, FTP, POP3 and SMTP. It is primarily meant to be used with 32-bit versions of Windows; particularly older systems such as Windows XP and Windows Vista. If you are looking for other free alternatives, we recommend you to try JanaServer.

User reviews about FreeProxy

by Leila Almasi

I used to have this software in my Windows Vista 32-bit computer system, it really works well and it's very functional. No wonder it is voted as the best proxy server in 2007 by PC magazine. It offers a wide range of proxy servers that its user can enjoy.

by Amit Kummar

Although many advanced free proxy servers exist now like CC Proxy, WinGate Proxy, Squid Proxy etc., I still prefer using FreeProxy server because, for me, it offers a basic but more secure level of protection on my computer system network. I just hope its developer will improve more of its interface so it could be user-friendly but it's still a great software bundle.

by Amit Kummar

Before when it comes to tools who automatically updates drivers, I use Iobit Driver Booster but when I discovered 3DP Chip I immediately downloaded it because I saw a video review wherein I find 3DP Chip more convenient to use than Iobit Driver Booster although to be fair, Iobit Driver Booster is a good tool but 3DP Chip is better.

by Janine Burke

During the old era of computers, I really prefer using FreeProxy server out of all the existing proxy servers at that time. If I remember it right this is the best free proxy server software on the market that is mostly recommended by technology experts mainly because it offers a variety of proxy servers to choose from

by Mario DaSilva

FreeProxy software brings me many nostalgia moments. I remember using this software to share our internet connection with my friends and surprisingly, at that time it really works fine although it's slow and its interface is not that user-friendly. I still consider this a good software when it comes to sharing connections.

by Chloe Baker

For those who still have Windows 98 to Windows 2003 computer OS, I recommend you to download and install this software especially if you aim to share a connection with more users. I believe this is still a very vital tool to conduct business and maintain personal necessities. This is an old but gold software!
