Use btguard for anonymous browsing under windows 7 (x64)
For those who don't know how it works: btguard is a password protected SOCKS5 proxy. I am looking for an easy way to use it as an internet browsing privacy solution. Here are two options I entertained and found none of them working the way I like:
There's a couple socksifyer tools, which would start a program and force it to use socks proxy for all network communication. problems: 1) couldn't find any that works under windows 7 in x64 mode 2) those which start in x86 mode will not socksify internet explorer anyway
There's a way to configure browser to use SOCKS, but I couldn't find a way to configure browser to use password protectes SOCKS proxy.
It's possible to chain local proxy to the one provided by btguard, but I couldn't find any software which will do that. Can someone who succeeded post here a name of software and how to configure it?

onfirm all an then type at URL prompt the "opera:config" to access the Preferences Editor. This will allow you to set under the Proxy menu the SOCKS username/password as provided by btguard.
Works great, also while uTorrent already has concurrent connections open.
I couldn't find a way wit Firefox, Chrome and IE yet.

Opera browser supports SOCKS5 with authentication. I've specifically installed it to make more use of btguard for that purpose. Configure the SOCKS5 details via Opera | Settings | Preferences | Advanced | Network | Proxies.
onfirm all an then type at URL prompt the "opera:config" to access the Preferences Editor. This will allow you to set under the Proxy menu the SOCKS username/password as provided by btguard.
Works great, also while uTorrent already has concurrent connections open.
I couldn't find a way wit Firefox, Chrome and IE yet.
