SOCKS5 Proxy

« Back to Glossary Index

A versatile proxy protocol that supports both TCP and UDP traffic, offering high-speed, encrypted connections. SOCKS5 proxies are frequently used for bypassing geo-restrictions, as well as for applications like streaming, gaming, and secure browsing.

Python Example:

import socks
import socket
socks.set_default_proxy(socks.SOCKS5, "socks5-proxy.com", port)
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
