Test SOCKS5 connectivity, validate authentication, and measure performance instantly.
HTTP Test: Validates basic connectivity through SOCKS5
HTTPS Test: Checks encrypted connection support
Latency Test: Measures connection speed and response time
UDP Tests: Validates UDP protocol support (SOCKS5 unique feature)
Note: SOCKS5 supports authentication, UDP protocol, and provides better performance than HTTP proxies.
The most advanced proxy protocol for modern applications
SOCKS5 is an internet protocol that routes network packets between a client and server through a proxy server. Unlike HTTP proxies, SOCKS5 works at a lower level and supports any type of traffic.
SOCKS5 offers superior flexibility and performance compared to HTTP proxies, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable, fast connections.
