I’ve never used a Google USA SOCKS5 proxy, but I’ve heard it’s not the best for privacy. If you’re just trying to bypass geo-blocks, it might work, but don’t expect it to be super fast or secure.
For something more reliable, I’d recommend using a VPN like ExpressVPN or NordVPN. They’ve got SOCKS5 options and are way better for privacy and speed.
