SOCKS5 is the modern transport-layer relay. Supports TCP and UDP, IPv6, remote DNS resolution (no DNS leak), and optional authentication. The right default for any non-HTTP traffic.

When to use SOCKS5
Use SOCKS5 for everything that is not pure HTTP/HTTPS web traffic: IRC, BitTorrent, custom binary protocols, game servers, VoIP, DNS over UDP. Also a fine default for HTTP if your client supports it.
Example usage
# curl through SOCKS5 (remote DNS via socks5-hostname)
curl --socks5-hostname 1.2.3.4:1080 https://example.com/
# Python requests with SOCKS5
import requests
proxies = {'http': 'socks5h://1.2.3.4:1080', 'https': 'socks5h://1.2.3.4:1080'}
requests.get('https://example.com', proxies=proxies)Per-country SOCKS5 proxies
Intersect /socks5.txt with the
country IP ranges to get only SOCKS5 exits in a
specific jurisdiction. Useful for geo-targeted scraping, ad verification, or
testing how a service behaves to visitors from a given country.
How fresh is the list?
Every entry in /socks5.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.
