SOCKS4 is a transport-layer relay from 1990 that forwards raw TCP connections without parsing the application protocol. It does not support UDP, IPv6, or remote DNS resolution — the client must resolve hostnames locally.

When to use SOCKS4

Use SOCKS4 only when legacy software requires it. For new projects, jump to SOCKS5: same protocol family, gains UDP, IPv6, authentication and remote DNS for one extra handshake byte.

Example usage

# curl with SOCKS4 (local DNS)
curl --socks4 1.2.3.4:1080 http://example.com/

# Python (PySocks)
import requests
proxies = {'http': 'socks4://1.2.3.4:1080'}
requests.get('http://example.com', proxies=proxies)

How fresh is the list?

Every entry in /socks4.txt was alive within the last 20 minutes when we last ran a validation pass. That doesn't guarantee it is alive at the exact moment you read it — public proxies die fast. For high-confidence results pass the addresses through our proxy judge to filter the dead and confirm the anonymity level.
