What Are SOCKS5 Proxies?
SOCKS5 is the most advanced proxy protocol. Unlike HTTP proxies, SOCKS5 operates at the transport layer and supports all traffic types: TCP, UDP, DNS. This makes it ideal for tasks requiring full anonymity and diverse protocol support.

- UDP Support — torrents, online games, VoIP, streaming
- No Data Modification — SOCKS5 doesn't alter packet headers
- Authentication — secure login/password connection
- DNS via Proxy — DNS leak prevention
