Proxifer is a lifesaver once you figure it out. One tip: use the “Test” button in the proxy settings to check latency before committing to a proxy. It’s a small step but saves a lot of headaches.
For DNS, I’d recommend trying out NextDNS. It’s customizable and super fast.
Also, make sure your proxifer rules are in the right order. The first matching rule is applied, so prioritize your most important apps.

Hey everyone, thanks so much for all the tips! I’ve been playing around with proxifer based on your suggestions, and it’s already feeling smoother. I switched to Cloudflare DNS and set up some custom rules for my most-used apps, which made a huge difference.
I’m still struggling a bit with latency when chaining proxies, though. Has anyone tried using a VPN alongside proxifer? Does it actually help, or is it just adding another layer of complexity?
Also, big shoutout to whoever mentioned ProxyBench—I’ll definitely check that out. Thanks again, you guys are awesome!
