Tidal Pool Software announced the release of MacProxy 1.0 for Mac OS X Leopard on Tuesday. MacProxy provides system-wide network proxy support for the Mac, including applications that don't otherwise include proxy support.

MacProxy 1.0 provides an intuitive user interface via a menulet control and a System Preference pane. The utility allows users to enable/disable the proxy and quickly switch between multiple proxy servers.

Key features of the utility include:

• Works with browsers (Safari, Firefox), email (Mail), chat (iChat), FTP, and telnet among others
• Enable/disable and switch the active proxy conveniently from a menulet
• Create one or more proxy server entries
• Track session statistics including the number of active connections, data sent, and data received
• DNS resolution through the proxy server
• Secure browsing by hiding your IP address

MacProxy is available for download from Tidal Pool Software. The download includes a free, fully functional 30 day trial. MacProxy can be purchased for US$19.99.
