Can Someone Explain the Socks4 Proxy Meaning and How It Works?

11 Replies, 2171 Views

Socks4 is like the basic version of a proxy. It hides your IP and routes your traffic, but that’s about it. No UDP, no DNS, and it’s not as secure as socks5.

If you’re just using it for simple tasks, it’s fine. But for anything more advanced, socks5 is the way to go.

Check out ProxyScrape for a list of free socks4 proxies. Just be careful with free ones—they can be hit or miss.
