The SOCKS5 proxy looks complicated, but in fact it is just one of the IP proxy protocols, and it is also the most important and popular one. The real anonymous proxy can only be achieved by the proxy IP of the SOCKS5 protocol.
What is a SOCKS5 Proxy?
SOCKS5 is a proxy protocol that acts as an intermediary between the front-end machine and the server that communicate using the TCP/IP protocol. The front-end machine of the internal network can request the server on the Internet, making the communication more secure.
The SOCKS5 server simulates the behavior of the front-end by forwarding the request sent by the front-end to the real target server. The front-end and SOCKS5 also communicate through the TCP/IP protocol. The front-end sends the request to the SOCKS5 server, and the SOCKS5 server forwards the request to the real server. When the SOCKS5 server sends a request to the real server, the SOCKS5 server will not make any changes to the request data packet itself. After receiving the response from the real server, the SOCKS5 server also forwards it to the front-end as it is.
Because SOCKS works on the session layer, it is a solution that provides security services from session layer to session layer and is not affected by changes in high-level applications.
SOCKS5 proxy is a proxy server that uses the SOCKS protocol. It is a general proxy server with a default port of 1080. SOCKS5 proxy works at the session layer and does not require the application to follow a specific operating system platform. SOCKS5 proxy simply transmits data packets without worrying about what kind of application protocol (such as FTP, HTTP, NNTP requests).
