What is a SOCKS5 proxy?
SOCKS5 proxy is a network proxy protocol. When you connect to a SOCKS proxy, your Internet traffic is routed through a third-party server using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The server acts as an intermediary, hiding your IP address and replacing it with its own. Compared to HTTP(S) proxies, SOCKS5 proxies are more flexible and secure, supporting multiple protocols such as UDP and TCP, and can also implement authentication and encrypted transmission.
A wide range of private SOCKS5 proxy pools
If you think HTTP(S) doesn't meet your needs, we provide you with a selection of premium SOCKS5 proxy pools covering the countries you need. With SOCKS5 proxies, you can easily bypass Internet filtering and geo-restrictions through UDP connections, access LANs remotely, and efficiently perform traffic-intensive data scraping tasks.

Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of SOCKS5 proxies?
SOCKS5 proxies has a variety of significant advantages, here are some of the main ones:
Enhanced Security: SOCKS5 supports authentication, which adds a layer of security by allowing users to access the proxy by requiring a username and password. This feature ensures that only authorized users can connect
Support for multiple protocols: Unlike HTTP proxies, SOCKS5 can handle any type of traffic, including TCP and UDP, which makes it perform better when handling traffic-intensive applications such as video streaming and online gaming.
Privacy protection: With SOCKS5 proxy, the user's real IP address is hidden, thereby improving online privacy and anonymity.
Can I get free SOCKS5?
Although there are many free SOCKS5 proxies available, they are subject to risks such as privacy leaks, poor performance, security vulnerabilities, and lack of customer support. For better security and reliability, it is recommended to choose a reputable paid SOCKS5 proxy service.
Can SOCKS5 be detected?
Yes, SOCKS5 can be detected, although its detection depends on the network monitoring tools and techniques used. SOCKS5 proxies are often used to route traffic through an intermediary server, which can anonymize the source IP and provide additional features such as authentication and UDP support.
Does SOCKS5 encrypt traffic?
SOCKS5 proxies do not encrypt the data transmitted through them, and because of this feature SOCKS5 can provide faster speeds.
Are SOCKS5 proxies better than VPNs?
Both SOCKS5 proxies and VPNs can hide your IP address and provide online anonymity. SOCKS5 is faster but does not encrypt the connection; VPNs are slower but encrypt your traffic.
