Can I use Identity Cloaker for securing other Internet traffic – not only web?
Yes, but with some limitations. This depends on the specific application. While most recent applications should be able to transmit data over HTTP proxy servers and they very often claim they are, the situation is a bit different. We found that some applications which allow you to set HTTP proxies simply ignore their own settings and transmit the data directly. Please understand that this is not a fault of Identity Cloaker but of the third party applications. JAVA applets are a category of its own. It is possible to write JAVA applets so that they completely bypass any proxy server set either in the web browser and/or in the JAVA settings. No matter if you tell JAVA to *always* use proxy server, some JAVA applets will simply ignore this fact. To be honest, we really don’t like JAVA applets. JAVA applets can transmit malevolent code to your computer including computer viruses, crash or freeze your Win PC and tend to be unstable. We recommend disabling JAVA Applets (not JavaScript) in yo
