With the popularization and development of the Internet, proxy servers are increasingly used. HTTP proxy and Socks5 proxy are two common proxy protocols. What are the differences between them? How should we choose?
The HTTP proxy protocol is based on the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and forwards data between the client and the server. HTTP proxies can identify data packets and filter data as needed, so they are very secure. Therefore, HTTP proxies are widely used in email filtering and network security projects, and can be used for network crawling and data mining.
The Socks5 proxy protocol runs at the fifth layer of the OSI seven-layer protocol, namely the session layer. Compared with Socks4, Socks5 adds an authentication mechanism to establish a complete connection. Socks5 proxy can run on any port according to any network protocol, and is often used to communicate with websites that have firewalls and restrict ordinary customer access. Socks5 proxy does not inquire about the content of the transmitted information and cannot directly read network data.
The two proxy protocols have their own advantages and disadvantages. Which one to choose depends on specific needs and circumstances.
