A SOCKS5 proxy directs data packets from a specially set source through a distant server and provides authentication options to guarantee that solely approved users can reach this server. Unlike other proxy types, constrained in redirecting web browser traffic, SOCKS5 proxies demonstrate greater flexibility. Due to its properties, there’s a range of use cases SOCKS5 proxy servers are best suited for, such as video streaming, live calls, and traffic-intensive data gathering.
Suited for versatile and traffic-intensive data gathering, our Residential SOCKS5 Proxies offer TCP connections tailored to meet your needs effectively. Unlock the full potential of your data-intensive tasks with our TCP-connected Residential Proxies.
If you think HTTP(S) connections are not enough for your needs, then a SOCKS5 proxy is what you need, as with private SOCKS5 proxies, you can go through a UDP connection. SOCKS5 proxy servers work amazingly for any traffic-intensive tasks, like scraping, video streaming, live calls, etc. Choose unlimited Dedicated Datacenter SOCKS5 Proxies if you need a UDP connection for more versatile or traffic-intensive data gathering.
Get your proxy list and use a simple cURL request to start scraping with SOCKS5 Proxies. Forget "dead" proxy servers and access over 102M+ dedicated SOCKS5 proxies instantly.

A lot of documentation and useful information on automatization. Also, account managers are very helpful with everything that might concern using their proxies, how to implement them in programs, how to use the dashboard, and how to see the exact info that we want to see. So glad that I picked their services.

While SOCKS5 Proxies and VPNs share some common features, SOCKS5 proxies are not a substitute for VPNs as they serve slightly different purposes. Note that you shouldn't use both SOCKS proxies and a VPN at the same time, as it may lead to slow internet speed.
Use rotating SOCKS5 proxies to remain anonymous online and reach faster web browsing speeds.
Use a VPN to enhance online privacy due to better encryption.
Just like other proxies, the SOCKS5 proxy can conceal a user’s real IP address online from other internet servers. However, internet service providers (ISPs) can still see the traffic routed through a proxy.
The prices for SOCKS5 proxies may vary depending on the service provider and the package/plan you choose. You can see the costs for Oxylabs’ high-quality proxies here.
Yes, there are many online websites where you can find free shared SOCKS5 proxies. However, we strongly recommend refraining from using free proxies as it bears certain risks, from slow speeds and poor performance to sensitive data leakage.
Generally, any proxies, even high-quality residential proxies, can be detected without preliminary precaution measures. Free or cheap SOCKS5 proxies are more likely to get detected, while residential SOCKS5 proxies from reliable providers are harder to spot as proxy providers regularly change their IP addresses and use rotating proxies to avoid detection.
It depends on what you intend to use them for. Both SOCKS5 proxy and VPN can mask your IP address and provide anonymity online. SOCKS5 ensures greater speeds but doesn’t encrypt your connection, while a VPN is slower but encrypts your traffic.
The main differences between SOCKS proxies and an HTTP proxy lie in their security, functionality, and performance. HTTP proxies have a higher level of security, while SOCKS5 proxies offer greater speeds and allow more flexibility as they are not dependent on any specific network protocols.
