run an aplication that's connected to the internet but not through a browser through a proxy. For example a downloadable game with an online multiplayer option? If so, how? Thanks.

I'm not too sure if this is what you're trying to do, but maybe it can help?

Lol!!! learn to read complete sentences before you try to be patronising.

First of all, thanks for the red, noob. Secondly, learn to spell patronizing if you're going to use it. Thirdly, I read and answered your question.

You asked for "downloadable game with an online multiplayer option". Then asked if that was "possible". It's not only possible, it's probably happening on your computer!

I asked if it was possible to run it through a proxy. And the best you can come back with is a spelling mistake. Try reading lessons.

Guys there is method calling socksify or proxify where you force application to run through proxy server or socks server.
You need programs like Widecap (still development), Sockscap (not anymore development), Freecap (not anymore development) or Proxycap.

Then you need to find good working SSl proxy servers or socks server and simple follow process to force appz to run behind proxy or socks servers.
Whole process with comments and pictures is explained on

You can force application to run behind proxy only with special program that will force that program to use proxy.
Here will not help any addons but spec. programs to proxify / socksify applications like Widecap, Sockscap, Freecap, Proxycap.

Tor works by passing the data through numerous different servers or nodes, so that it is all but impossible (in theory) to track the source IP address.

Only problem is that TOR does not works behind applications and will not force them to use TOR. TOR is excellent for browsers and surfing with IE, firefox but applications that connect to internet and do not provide fields to enter proxy:port are not anonymous.

U have tons of proggies on the net specialized just for that purpose also a lot of free ones

If you get a program called "Hotspot Shield" that you install on your computer then it will allow you to do pretty much anything behind a proxy like connection. There's a free version too.
