Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a popular tool for accelerating downloads on Windows. By configuring IDM to use the Anyone.io network as a free proxy, you can download files more anonymously and potentially bypass certain download restrictions. The Anyone.io network acts as a middleman for your downloads – hiding your IP and routing your file requests through encrypted relays. This means you can enjoy IDM’s fast download speeds along with improved privacy and access. Setting up the proxy in IDM is straightforward and lets you take advantage of Anyone.io without any additional cost or complicated software.
Launch Internet Download Manager. In the IDM menu bar, click Downloads and then Options (you can also find an Options icon on the toolbar).
In the Options dialog, go to the Proxy / Socks tab. This is where IDM allows you to configure proxy server details for downloads.
Check the option that says “Use proxy” (or similar wording). Once enabled, the fields for entering proxy details become editable.
Set the proxy type to SOCKS5, since the Anyone.io network uses the SOCKS5 protocol for routing traffic. In the proxy address field, enter the Anyone.io proxy server address. If you’re running the Anyone.io client on the same PC as IDM, this will likely be 127.0.0.1. In the port field, enter 9050. (No username/password is needed for the free Anyone.io proxy.)
Click OK to save your proxy configuration in IDM. Now, when you start a download, IDM will route the connection through the Anyone.io network. You can proceed to download files as usual, and IDM will fetch them via the proxy.
Configuring IDM to use an Anyone.io proxy provides a few key advantages. First, your downloads become more private – the file hosts will see connection requests coming from the proxy network, not directly from your PC. This can help bypass IP-based download limits or regional blocks on content. Second, the encryption and routing that Anyone.io provides means your ISP or network admin can’t easily snoop on what you’re downloading; all they see is encrypted traffic. You still get to leverage IDM’s multi-threaded speed boosts and pause/resume features, but now with the added layer of anonymity from Anyone.io. It’s an ideal setup for users who want faster downloads and the peace of mind that their activity is hidden and secure.
