SSTap (SOCKSTap) is a virtual network card technology designed for gamers or anyone else looking to mask their IP address with a proxy.

The interface and usage can be as simple, or complex, as you make it. You're going to need a proxy address, which can be found by searching, so you can add, delete, edit or test all your proxy addresses. This is where most people might get lost. You can add a SOCKS proxy, SS/SSR proxy, or bath add SS/SSR proxies if you have a list. Our recommendation is to search for "free proxy list" and get a free list you can use. Free Proxy List has an updated list at the time of this review.

Once all of this has been setup, you can select a global site or global minus China, for the paranoid user using a Chinese device. Go figure.

SSTap is pretty awesome, but let's be clear - it's truly geared towards the geek and advanced users. It's also currently in beta so if you're new to the proxy, have a look at our Proxy & VPN section.
