ChrisPC Anonymous Proxy introduces Pro version

ChrisPC has updated its popular privacy tool with the release of ChrisPC Anonymous Proxy 5.00, which sees the introduction of a paid-for Pro version.

The free build retains the same core functionality as in previous editions, quickly locating proxies from more 50 countries and changing your IP address with a click. An improved interface makes the program easier to use, while full Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11 compatibility should ensure everything runs smoothly.

The $29.99 Pro version extends this with new "Advanced" proxy settings, where you can choose your preferred proxy country, and filter the proxy list by minimum speed. The program will connect you to the fastest proxy server, and there’s even an option to choose your preferred IP address from a list.

The Pro build also includes an ad blocker, along with the Privacy Add-on (blocks tracking scripts, web counters and more) and Expat Add-on (access geographically-restricted entertainment sites). Individual add-ons are still available for purchase separately if you don’t want to buy the full Pro package.

ChrisPC Anonymous Proxy 5.00 looks like good news all round, then. The free version continues as previously; the Pro build adds worthwhile new features, and upgrading will cost you less than before. Go take a look.
