Is that a program that can capture a program that doesn't have proxy
settings so that the program can force it to proxy somewhere? I thing
I heard of a proxy program like this once.

Depending on the OS that is being used, there are multiple ways to do this.

It is quite common to leverage LD_PRELOAD (et al.) on Linux / Unix
systems to do things like this.

There are also ways to do this at the network level with things like
tun2socks which is part of the BadVPN suite. tun2socks uses standard
Linux tunnel devices to interface with routing and receives the traffic
and converts it to work through a standard SOCKS 5 server.

Grant, what are the advantages of using a proxy as opposed to a
VPN?

I use an ssh connection to Cotse, so I have to point programs manually
to Putty to connect. If a program I use doesn't have build in proxy
ability, I can't direct it to Putty. I was needing a Windows proxy
wrapper program to do this, if one even exist.

For Windows I like Proxychains, which I use for a long time now together with TOR.

Doesn't seem to be for Windows.

https://github.com/haad/proxychains

Proxychains-4.3.0 are available with pkgsrc to everyone using it on
Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD or Mac OS X. You just
need to install pkgsrc-wip repository and run make install in a
wip/proxychains directory.

never used "proxychains" (tor browser and omnimix user), but the last
windows release is four years old . . . and prompts for "cygwin1.dll":

Installing and Updating Cygwin Packages
Installing and Updating Cygwin for 64-bit versions of Windows
Run setup-x86_64.exe any time you want to update or install a Cygwin
package for 64-bit windows.

The signature for setup-x86_64.exe can be used to verify the validity
of this binary using the public key here.
General installation notes
When installing packages for the first time, the setup program does
not install every package. Only the minimal base packages from the
Cygwin distribution are installed by default, which takes up about
100 MB.

How to Use Proxychains 2024 (Kali, Linux & Windows)

Installing Proxychains on Windows
The proxychains tool was built and designed for Linux, so installing it
in Windows is not straightforward.
There is an open-source tool called proxychains-windows. Although it
hasn't been updated in a few years, and the author doesn't guarantee
anonymity, it's worth checking out if you're interested in using
proxychains on Windows using an open-source project.

From this version on, all CIDR prefix length default to 32(IPv4) or
128(IPv6) if not provided (previously 0)
fix: connect to IPv6 address by a SOCKS5 proxy
feat: config: cidr prefix length defaults to 32 or 128 when not provided
fix: filter IPs resolved from hosts file according to hints like fake ip
fix: allow resolution by custom hosts file even if proxy_dns is off
The "d" suffix of filenames in "*_debug.zip" means the files are of a
"debug" build.

Yes, this is what I use. My package contains only these files:
proxychains.exe
proxychains_hook_x86.dll
vcruntime140.dll
