Fire up SocksCap and go to File->Settings menu

Enter your proxy IP address and port in Socks server/port fields. If you’re using Proxybonanza.com your IP will be in ip:port format for example 127.0.0.1:48212 (127.0.0.1 is IP address and 48212 is port). Set protocol to Socks Version 5. Tick the Username/Password checkbox unless you use IP authentication.

Now go to File->Username/Password menu and set your login and password (use the same login and password as for proxybonanza.com user panel). You can skip this step if you use IP authentication.

Now when you have your proxy configured it’s time to tell SocksCap which programs you’d like to run through it. We’ll use Firefox as an example. Press the New button in SocksCap window, set the profile name, use Browse button to find the program you’d like to run through proxy, SocksCap will set the Working Directory to the same path where program is located. Click OK to add new profile.

You can add more entries if you need. Now select the profile you’ve just added, click the Run button and SocksCap will start this program and run it’s traffic through proxy.

Proxifier configuration

Here is how to configure Proxifier with SOCKS5 proxy. Simple proxy setting in web browsers is not enough for some websites (for example video or music streaming sites using flash players) – your real IP will be still visible. Proxifier comes in handy in such cases.
First you need to obtain SOCKS5 proxy IP address. If you’re using Proxybonanza.com your IP will be in ip:port format for example 127.0.0.1:48212 (127.0.0.1 is IP address and 48212 is port). To make sure your proxy works it’s good to test it first using proxy checker that comes with Proxifier. Run the proxy checker, click the top left ‘Proxy server…’ button , set your proxy IP, port, protocol=Socks version 5, use authentication with your username and password (or don’t use it if you have IP authentication turned on) and hit ‘OK’ then ‘Start testing’. If you get the green ‘Proxy is ready to work with Proxifier’ message (above the progress bar) then you can proceed to next step.

1. Run Proxifier and select Options->Proxy Settings

2. Click the Add button in new window

3. Set proxy IP,port, protocol and authentication as you did with proxy tester then click OK and OK once again in ‘Proxy settings’ window

4. Your traffic is now routed through SOCKS proxy server. You can run a web browser and see all the connections it makes in proxifier window. Use File->Exit to stop Proxifier
