You should not use older client versions unless you suspect that something has changed for the worse with a new client release and you would like to try a previous version to determine if it's true. Old client versions can be found here.

The latest version compatible with Java 1.4 and Java 5 is 20080815-01. We strongly recommend that you only use this version if you must use an obsolete Java installation.

In order to unleash the full functionality of the Your Freedom client, OpenVPN needs to be installed on your computer as well. You do not need to configure it (which is a bit obscure), you only need to install it with default options (which is simple).

Download OpenVPN from the OpenVPN download page.

Note: You must use at least version 2.1 of OpenVPN community version. Use the latest stable version.

If you don't want to (or can't) use OpenVPN mode and your application/game does not support connecting through a web or SOCKS proxy, you need a "socksifier". A "socksisier" sits in the middle between your application/game and the network and makes the application/game believe that is connecting normally while it is actually connecting through a proxy (the Your Freedom client in this case). There are several available, some for free, some for a donation, some for a more or less reasonable license fee, and some may work better for your application than others. The choice is yours. The list below is our choice of the available offerings. Some more details and configuration information can be found in our SOCKS howto.

• WideCap
  
  WideCap is a free socksifier that integrates with the system network stack and does not rely on pre-loading a library like some other socksifiers. It works with many games and applications that cannot be used with socksifiers like SocksCap and FreeCap. We know it works well with Steam powered games.

• FreeCap

  FreeCap is, as the name suggests, freeware. The author asks for a small donation if you like it. Download FreeCap from the author's download page. We like this best because it's free and easy to use, and it's good enough for many (but not all) applications.

• SocksCap

  SocksCap used to be distributed for free (non-commercial use) by Permeo but is no longer available from their web page. There are loads of copies on the Internet though, just google for "sc32r240.exe download". The latest release is 2.40.

• ProxyCap

  ProxyCap is a highly sophisticated (and somewhat difficult to use) socksifier. It comes with a 30 day free trial period. A license costs USD 30. Download it from the PROXYLABS home page.

• Proxifier

  Proxifier is also a very clever piece of software. Testing for 31 days is free, a license costs USD 40. Plus it's also available for Mac OS X. Check it out on the Proxifier home page.

• SuperSocks5Cap

   

• Hummingbird Socks

  The Hummingbird suite contains a socksifier as well. It can be found on the Hummingbird web site.

• Dante

  Dante is the de-facto standard in the Unix/Linux world. It's free. Download it from Inferno Nettverk's web site or just install it as part of your distribution (it's probably called "dante-client").

• tsocks

  tsocks is another Unix/Linux world socksification tool, also free. It can be found on Sourceforge. There is a Mac OS X version as well.

We require that you maintain your PC in a safe state, free of viruses, worms and other malware, and ensure that it is not part of a bot net. If you have never worried about this before you should now (especially if you run Windows), and click this link in Internet Explorer: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm (it won't work in any other browser). Or go the whole hog and install a security suite. Here are some examples that are free of charge:

• Avira Antivir (free for personal use)
• avast! home edition (free for home use)
• Microsoft Security Essentials (currently in beta)

This list is by no means comprehensive. We haven't got a preference what you use as long as you use something suitable. We recommend the ones above solely because we believe they are suitable and they are free.

Fixed a bug that would break local authentication for both SOCKS and HTTP proxy port. For HTTP proxy port, the YF client incorrectly shut down the connection if no authentication was received in the first request; this is fixed. However, that wasn't the main issue. The main problem is a bug in the java standard library that we have reported to Oracle years ago, and it is still not fixed. We should have known!
