We are going to need to download the application. Just click the Wow2Go icon, and it should download.

WoW2Go is Shareware, so you need to signup for a trial

You will get an email with an attachment trial licence.

Once you get the email, download and open the attachment. Wow2Go should open.

Click the small pencil between the plus and minus signs to add a new SmoothPing server.

This is an example of how you would set up the Boston01 server. You can see all of our current servers by looking over to the side where we have an online users count.
You will want to ender your SmoothPing username and password in the username and password fields.

Now, you are going to want to click the Wow2Go icon in the left hand corner. A window will slide out asking where your World Of Warcraft.app is.

That's it! Now just click "Start" and then "Play", and WoW should open using the SmoothPing service. Enjoy!

Proxifier

Ok, let's get started. First, you are going to want to download Proxifier from http://www.proxifier.com/mac_download.htm

Proxifier is Shareware, you get a 31 day trial licence

You will want to install proxifyer and then download SmoothPing configuration settings HERE. Just open the configuration settings and Proxifier will open.
