The socks protocol is kinda like a dumb pipe. It doesn’t care what flows through it, just where it’s going. That’s why it’s better for things like P2P or gaming where HTTP proxies fail.
SOCKS5 is the latest version and supports auth + UDP.
Name? Probably some nerdy acronym nobody remembers.
If you wanna experiment, try [Windscribe’s SOCKS proxy](https://windscribe.com/). Dead simple to set up.
