SOCKS5 Proxies
SOCKS5 protocol proxies supporting TCP and UDP traffic. Full protocol flexibility for gaming, streaming, torrenting, and applications requiring raw socket connections.
What SOCKS5 proxies are
SOCKS5 is a low-level proxy protocol that forwards traffic at the socket level rather than only handling HTTP requests. That makes it protocol-agnostic: it can carry any TCP connection, and on supported networks UDP as well, which is why it's the choice for applications that need raw sockets rather than a web proxy. FlashProxy exposes SOCKS5 across its residential, datacenter, ISP, and mobile pools, so you pick the IP origin that fits the job and connect over SOCKS5 with simple username and password authentication.
TCP, UDP, and which network to pick
UDP ASSOCIATE — the SOCKS5 capability that carries UDP datagrams — is supported on the datacenter, ISP, and IPv6 networks. The residential and mobile networks carry SOCKS5 over TCP. So if your workload depends on UDP, such as certain game traffic or DNS-over-UDP, choose a datacenter or ISP SOCKS5 endpoint; for TCP-based scraping, streaming, and account work, any pool works. Matching the protocol need to the right network is the one decision that matters most here.
Use cases and getting started
SOCKS5 suits gaming, streaming, peer-to-peer transfers, custom clients, and any tool that opens raw sockets instead of speaking HTTP. Because it's available across every FlashProxy product, your pricing follows whichever IP type you select — per-gigabyte on residential and mobile, plan-based on datacenter. Generate SOCKS5 credentials, point your client at the host and port, and you're connected with full protocol flexibility. See the pricing page for current rates.
