Proxy Quick Switch

Proxy Quick Switch is a small software application designed specifically for helping you activate or disable the Internet Explorer proxy server using a set of straightforward actions.

Installation tweaks

This is an ad-supported tool, which means it offers to download third-party software programs that have nothing to do with its functionality.

Look for the app in the system tray

Proxy Quick Switch does not employ a graphical user interface for helping you enable or disable proxy settings. You can find it running in the background, in your system tray. Gaining access to the program’s features requires a right-click on its icon.
The tool does not come packed with a help manual but you do need one to decode its dedicated parameters, as they look very easy to tweak.

How it works

Proxy Quick Switch gives you the possibility to pick the preferred option from the system tray, namely activate or deactivate the IE proxy settings. Closing the utility can also be done via the system tray. No other notable features are hidden under its hood.

Performance

We have tested Proxy Quick Switch on Windows 8.1 Pro and noticed that the application carries out a task very quickly and without errors. It is not a resource hog so the overall performance of the system is not hampered.

Bottom line

To sum things up, Proxy Quick Switch delivers a simplistic approach for helping you manage IE proxy settings directly from your system tray, without having to perform a bunch of clicks in order to complete the process. The intuitive set of options makes this program suitable for less experienced users and professionals alike.
