SOCKS VPN is basically a proxy with extra steps. It’ll mask your IP, but that’s about it. No encryption, no real privacy.
For streaming, sure, it’s faster ‘cause no encryption overhead. But if you’re torrenting, you’re playing with fire. Your ISP could still snoop, and copyright trolls love unencrypted traffic.
I’d stick to a regular VPN for anything sensitive. Mullvad’s a solid choice if you want no logs and good speeds.
