It is an internet protocol that routes network packets between a client and server through a proxy server. SOCKS5 additionally provides authentication, allowing only authorized users to access the server. It supports both TCP and UDP protocols, making it versatile for various types of internet traffic, including DNS lookups. Our Residential Proxy service supports SOCKS5, offering you a flexible and secure proxy solution.
