What is Socks Proxy?

What is socks proxy?

Socks proxy is versatile proxy for all usage while the http proxy can only be used for surfing. You can use socks proxy to send email, transfer file, chat online, play game as well as surf website. Here is an article about socks proxy and http proxy.

How to use the socks proxy?

Many programs (such as Firefox, IE, Skype, mIRC) support the socks proxy option. When you enable socks proxy in the program, the proxy will fetch the traffic data for the program. The server will regard the IP of socks proxy as your IP so it cannot trace your real IP. We recommend using Socks Proxy Checker to check socks proxies.

What is the version of socks proxy?

There are two versions of socks proxy: version 4 and 5, as known as Socks4 and Socks5. Socks5 supports UDP (Skype needs it), name resolution and authentication while Socks4 not. However in most cases either Socks4 or Socks5 is OK.

What is the proxy anonymity?

All the socks proxies are highly anonymous. The server does not know you are using a proxy. Http proxies are different. They can be anonymous or transparent.

How to check the proxy speed?

You can use our free software Socks Proxy Checker to test the proxy speed. We don't show the speed in the proxy list. It's because one proxy may have different speed for different users. For example, a proxy which is fast for USA users may be slow for European users. So check it by yourself.

What is HTTPS / SSL proxy?

Secure websites whose url starts with https:// instead of http:// (ex. https://www.paypal.com) use the encrypted (SSL/HTTPS) connections between its web server and the visitors. All socks proxies support SSL/HTTPS.
