Static proxy IPs usually do not directly support the SOCKS protocol, because static proxy IPs forward requests through proxy servers, while the SOCKS protocol is a direct connection protocol that does not require a proxy server. However, the SOCKS protocol can be supported by configuring the corresponding proxy software on the proxy server.
How to configure static proxy IP to support SOCKS protocol?
To configure a static proxy IP to support the SOCKS protocol, you need to follow these steps:
Open your browser and go to the browser settings page.
On the settings page, find the proxy settings option. The settings location may be different for different browsers, usually found in network settings, advanced settings, or privacy settings.
In Proxy settings, select Manually configure a proxy server.
In the proxy server settings, find the Proxy type option and select SOCKS proxy.
In the Proxy Server Address and Port Number field, enter the static proxy IP and port number that you want to configure. You can obtain this information from the proxy service provider.
After confirming the settings, save and apply the configuration.
Restart your browser for the configuration to take effect.
After completing the above steps, the browser will access the network through the configured static proxy IP and support the SOCKS protocol.

Static proxy IP does not support SOCKS protocol by default. How to change it?
To change your static proxy IP to support SOCKS protocol, you can follow these steps:
Open Internet Explorer and click "Internet Options" on the toolbar.
In the Internet Options window, switch to the "Connections" tab and click the "LAN Settings (L)" button.
In the LAN Settings window, find the "Proxy Server" section. Uncheck the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" option.
Under the "Proxy Server" section, find the "Advanced (A)" button and click it.
In the Advanced window, find the "Proxy Server" section. Uncheck the "Use the same proxy server for all protocols" option.
In the "HTTP" field, enter the IP address and port number of the proxy server you want to use. For example, if your proxy server IP address is 127.0.0.1 and the port number is 1080, enter "127.0.0.1:1080" in the "HTTP" field.
In the "Secure (S)" column, repeat step 6 and enter the same proxy server IP address and port number.
In the "FTP" field, repeat step 6 and enter the same proxy server IP address and port number.
In the "Gopher" field, repeat step 6 and enter the same proxy server IP address and port number.
In the "Socks" column, enter the IP address and port number of the SOCKS proxy server you want to use. For example, if your SOCKS proxy server IP address is 127.0.0.1 and the port number is 1080, fill in "127.0.0.1:1080" in the "Socks" column.
Click the "OK" button to close all open windows.
Now you have successfully changed your static proxy IP to support SOCKS protocol. Please note that these steps are for Internet Explorer browser, other browsers may have different settings interface and option names.
