SOCKS proxies
SOCKS proxies work at a low network level, so almost any network application can run through them. They do not pass the client IP address to the remote server and support chaining, which further increases anonymity.

Frequently asked questions
What proxies are shown on this page?
This page combines SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 in one list. Useful when you need a single SOCKS address pool without splitting by protocol version. You can then move to the SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 pages for a more precise choice.
When is the combined list more convenient than picking SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 separately?
The combined list is convenient when the protocol is not yet decided: it works for parsing, automation, and desktop applications. Choose SOCKS4 for TCP-only tasks without authentication. Choose SOCKS5 when you need UDP, IPv6, or login and password.
What ports do SOCKS proxies typically use?
SOCKS proxies most often run on ports 1080, 1081, 4145, and 9050. The exact port depends on server configuration and protocol implementation, so it is best to check response time and last verification time in the table before using them.
How do SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 differ from each other?
SOCKS4 works over TCP only and does not support authentication. SOCKS5 adds UDP, IPv6, and login/password, making it suitable for gaming, VoIP, and tasks requiring authorization. When the protocol does not matter, SOCKS5 covers all SOCKS4 use cases.
Can I use SOCKS proxies in a browser or application?
Yes, most browsers and applications support SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 in their proxy settings. Specify the address, port, and protocol type. SOCKS5 also allows you to set a login and password for authentication.
