MacProxy provides system-wide network proxy support for the Mac, including for applications without proxy support. Avoid proxy setup for each application, just enable MacProxy and your Mac's network connections are forwarded to a proxy. MacProxy allows you to surf the internet from behind a LAN/firewall, easily tether your Mac to a SmartPhone/iPhone (requires a proxy server on your mobile device, such as Tether), and navigate the internet securely and anonymously.

MacProxy provides a simple and intuitive user interface via a menulet control and a System Preference pane. Easily enable/disable the proxy and quickly switch between multiple proxy servers.

Features:

redirect almost all of your Mac's network traffic to any compatible SOCKS proxy server
works with browsers (Safari, Firefox), email (Mail), chat (iChat), FTP, telnet, and many more network applications
enable/disable and switch the active proxy conveniently from a menulet
