Proxy setting for each application even if it doesn't support it

ProxyCap is an excellent lightweight application to manage various application on windows, windows mobile or mac computers to a proxy server with SOCKS4/5 or HTTPS access.
It's not that expensive and does the job good. It has options for exe-file, ports, ip-destination, host-name, transport protocol (TCP/UDP), windows authentication and more.

If you have specific application that should use a proxy connection or if all applications should use a proxy connection with some application exceptions this could be a nice tool to solve it.

Of cause you need a proxy server service, or you could use it to route some application away from your mandatory proxy.

How to get 25 GB on a free network drive in the cloud

It's a bit slow and file limit is 50 MB :( but hey it's free and 25GB.

I use the free version of Gladinet to mount several cloud services as disk drives in windows.
http://gladinet.com/
I only use it for pictures and documents because of the file size limit, but its fine when it is set up.
If you like to break the 50MB limit Gladinet has a paid version which can split files larger than 50MB and merge them again automatically.

Listen to Pandora outside US in Chrome Browser

I will take no response ability for breaking any terms of use or any other licensing!

First you need a US Proxy address, this you can buy a subscription for or pick a free web proxy from this list:

Of cause you can use any proxy you want, it just have to change the IP-address to a US address.
After you have found a proxy server/port you should install a proxy manager. This could be  a Chrome Extension like Proxy Switchy!
Other browsers like Firefox does have similar Plug-ins.

Proxy Switchy! can be set up to automatic switch to a specific proxy server on specific  URL's like this:



This should be saved along with the proxy profile where the IP-address and port should be.
Now just navigate to www.pandora.com and you should be good to go, but check the terms of use before initiating.
