We support HTTP/s and SOCKS5 proxy protocols. Both of these are commonly used and offer different benefits depending on your needs. Here's how they work and which one is best for you.
Why Do We Support HTTP/s and SOCKS5?
We chose to support these two protocols because they meet different customer needs. HTTP/s is perfect for browsing the internet, while SOCKS5 is more versatile and works with a variety of data types, such as online games, downloads, and more.
Which Protocol Should You Choose?
HTTP/s Proxy: Great for simple internet browsing and accessing websites. It’s fast and easy to use, but works best for HTTP/s traffic only.
SOCKS5 Proxy: This protocol is more flexible and can handle various types of traffic, like torrent downloads, video streaming, and online gaming. It also offers more anonymity and security.
Tip: If you need more security and want to hide your IP in multiple situations, SOCKS5 is the better option. For basic web browsing, HTTP/s works just fine.
Security and Performance
Security: SOCKS5 is more secure because it doesn't alter the data being transferred. This makes it ideal for encrypted traffic, like HTTPS.
Speed: Both are fast, but SOCKS5 tends to be more efficient when transferring large amounts of data or when using multiple types of connections.
