HTTPort

HTTPort, developed by Technology Networks LLC, is an advanced tool in the System Utilities category, specifically falling under Device Assistants. The latest version, 3.0, proves to be a robust application for users dealing with internet connectivity issues from behind an HTTP proxy. By creating an almost invisible tunnel through a proxy, HTTPort enables practically any local software to connect to remote servers seamlessly. The installation file, named httport.exe, is straightforward and efficient.

What sets HTTPort apart is its ability to work with a variety of software, including email clients, ICQ, IRC, AIM, FTP, and telnet among others. Version 3.0 has introduced a built-in SOCKS server that further extends its usability to programs requiring ICQ and FTP connections directly. This enhancement, coupled with the data encryption feature, makes tracing HTTPort activity practically impossible.

Available as a Freeware, HTTPort is free to download and use, making it accessible to a wide range of users without the burden of a purchase cost. It supports multiple Windows OS versions: XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11, ensuring compatibility with both old and new systems.

Additionally, it should be noted that there are other versions of the program available, such as 3.0, and 3, which users might find useful depending on their specific needs.

Pros:

• Transparent tunneling through HTTP proxy
• Built-in SOCKS server for extended functionalities
• Effective data encryption
• Broad software compatibility
• Free to download and use
