What Exactly is the SOCKS4 Proxy Meaning and How Does It Work?

16 Replies, 2193 Views

Hey! So, socks4 proxy meaning is pretty straightforward. It’s basically a protocol that lets you route your internet traffic through a server, which hides your IP address.

The main difference between socks4 and socks5 is that socks4 doesn’t support authentication or UDP traffic. It’s kinda old-school but still works for basic stuff like web browsing or hiding your IP.

If you’re looking for tools, check out ProxyRack or ProxyScrape. They’ve got good lists of socks4 proxies. Hope that helps!
