Mixing socks and proxy can be tricky, but yeah, it’s doable. SOCKS5 is great for UDP traffic (like gaming or torrenting), while HTTP proxies are better for web browsing.

If you wanna stack ‘em, go proxy -> socks. The proxy hides your IP first, then socks handles the traffic routing. But tbh, a VPN + SOCKS5 is simpler and less likely to leak.

For leaks, check out Whonix or Tails OS—they’re built for anonymity. Also, always test your setup with ipleak.net or dnsleaktest.com.
