Are native IP proxy nodes and socks5 proxies the same thing?

First, we need to understand the concept of a node. In telecommunications networks, a node refers to a connection point, an endpoint for distributing or transmitting communications. The definition of a node depends on the network and protocol layers involved.

In a physical network, a node is an active electronic device connected to the network that can send, receive, or forward information.

Therefore, passive distribution points are not considered nodes. In network theory or graph theory, a node refers to a point where a network topology intersects or branches.

What is a native IP proxy node?

In some cases, foreign trade customers may need to use native IP node servers for business needs. So what is a native IP node?

A native IP node server refers to an IP address whose registration address is the same as the geographical location of the computer room where the virtual private server (VPS) is located.

On the contrary, a non-native IP node refers to an IP address whose registered address is inconsistent with the location of the VPS data center, which is the so-called broadcast IP address.

Below I will detail the difference between the two and share a commonly used method to distinguish between native and non-native IP nodes.

A native IP node refers to an IP address whose registered address is the same as the location of the VPS computer room, while a non-native IP node refers to an IP address whose registered address is inconsistent with the location of the VPS computer room, which is the so-called broadcast IP address.

1. Native IP nodes (local IP) are local native IP nodes provided by local Internet service providers (ISPs). They are geographically completely local, with relatively high prices, and can be accepted by services or games in restricted areas.

2. Broadcast IP (native IP node, international IP) is an IP address that does not belong to the local area. IP addresses in other international regions are allocated to available areas through broadcasting. This type of IP is relatively cheap and provides a consistent network experience with local IP.

What is a socks5 proxy?

Next is an explanation about SOCKS5 proxy. SOCKS5 is a proxy protocol used to act as an intermediary between the front-end machine and the server that communicates using the TCP/IP protocol. It allows the front-end machine to access the Internet server and increase the security of communication.

The SOCKS5 server simulates the behavior of the front-end machine by forwarding the requests sent by the front-end to the real target server.

In this process, the front-end machine and the SOCKS5 server also communicate through the TCP/IP protocol.

The front end sends the request that was originally intended to be sent to the real server to the SOCKS5 server, and then the SOCKS5 server forwards the request to the real server.

In the process of forwarding communication requests to the real server, the SOCKS5 server will not modify the request data packet itself.

When the SOCKS5 server receives the response from the real server, it forwards the response to the front-end machine as is.

Since the SOCKS5 protocol operates at the session layer, it provides a solution for providing security services between session layers and is not affected by changes in upper-layer applications.
