SOCKS5 proxy is one of the common proxy protocol types at present, supporting TCP proxy, UDP proxy and IPV6 proxy. Different from HTTP/HTTPS proxy, SOCKS5 proxy does not care about the application protocol of the transmitted information, but only focuses on the transmission of data packets. So what should you pay attention to when choosing a SOCKS5 proxy?
First of all, what is an overseas socks5 proxy?
SOCKS is a network transmission protocol, which is mainly used for the intermediate transmission of communication between the client and the external network server. SOCKS is an abbreviation for "Sockets".
When the client behind the firewall wants to access the external server, it connects with the SOCKS proxy server. This proxy server controls the client's qualifications to access the external network, and if allowed, sends the client's request to an external server. This protocol was originally developed by David Koblas and then extended to version 4 by Ying-Da Lee of NEC.
The latest protocol is version 5. Compared with the previous version, it supports UDP, authentication, and IPv6. According to the OSI model, SOCKS is a protocol at the session layer, located between the presentation layer and the transport layer.
What are the advantages of SOCKS5?
1: less mistakes
SOCKS5 proxies do not rewrite the headers of packets, which means that SOCKS5 proxies are less prone to error and have better overall performance.
2: Fast
SOCKS5 is responsible for fully implementing UDP, so the speed is faster than HTTP and HTTPS proxies.
3: Not limited by protocol type
SOCKS5 is an all-round proxy server, which is only responsible for transmitting data packets and is not limited by any data transmission protocol type.
4: Solve geographic location restrictions
As a remote server, the SOCKS5 proxy server can provide IPs in different locations to help users hide their real IPs and browse websites with new IPs provided by the proxy server.
How to choose SOCKS5 residential IP?
1. Look at the IP distribution. What are the resources of the software itself, whether it has an IP address covering the whole country, and the energy can continuously output IP. From another perspective, we can also see the size of the service provider.
2. Look at the number of IPs. Only with a large number of IPs can users of different magnitudes switch IPs at any time. A large number of residential IPs can often directly reflect the strength of a residential IP service provider.
3. Look at the efficiency of IP. There are some free IPs on the market. Although there are many IPs, it is not difficult to find out in actual operation. There are not many IPs that are really available, and the connection efficiency is very low. Most of them are blocked or occupied. It is best not to consider these types of work. Extremely inefficient.
iproyal has two kinds of residential agents, static and dynamic, and there is also a data center agent that will be opened soon, and now the IP can accurately locate the city level.
Advantages: The price is relatively affordable. Compared with other overseas residential IPs, it is indeed much cheaper. The IP pool is 60 million+, and the IP pool will be updated every month to effectively ensure cleanliness. The connection rate is as high as 99.8%, and overseas IP ads are free Test, no width limit, white list proxy list, support http, https and Socks5 protocols.
