What is SOCKS5 proxy?​

SOCKS5 is the latest and most up-to-date SOCKS protocol. It is an improved version of SOCKS, an internet protocol that routes packets between a server and a client using a proxy server. SOCKS5 has enhanced security and offers three types of authentication methods:

• Null authentication – No authentication required to connect to a proxy;
• Username/password authentication – You need to provide login details to connect to a proxy;
• GSS-API authentication – Both you and the server use authentication methods at the operating system level to verify your identity.

How does it work? Your traffic is routed through a proxy server that generates an arbitrary IP address before you reach your destination. Technically speaking, SOCKS5 (the latest version) uses proxy servers to form User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections through arbitrary IP addresses.

If your IP is 1.1.1.1 and your traffic is routed through a SOCKS Proxy with the IP 2.2.2.2, the destination server (the website) will think that the request came from the latter. The website cannot see your original IP address. This helps you hide your location, but it doesn’t mean that your traffic is secure. Contrary to VPNs, proxies do not encrypt your traffic – it’s still out in the open and anyone can snoop on what you are doing.

Residential proxies allow you to choose a specific location (country, city, or a mobile carrier) and surf the web as a real-user in that area. Proxies can be defined as intermediaries that protect users from general web traffic. They act as buffers while also concealing your IP address. Proxies are alternative IP addresses assigned to users by the provider.

All the user’s search requests are channeled via the proxy IP to the proxy server then to the resource server. This way, the user’s activity is concealed and identity remains anonymous.

Residential proxies essentially route your internet traffic through an intermediary​

server. The proxy server assigns you an alternative IP through which all of your server requests are channeled.​

Note that the alternative IP address assigned, belongs to a real device. When you make a search request, it is conveyed to the resource server via your residential proxy. This way, your real IP is concealed, and sites perceive your activity as that of any other regular user.

Depending on the provider, an ideal residential proxy package affords the option of targeting countries, cities and all requests should be HTTPS encrypted for security.

In short, residential proxies are socks5 proxies.

I have seen fullz on sale several times with the recommendation to use residential proxies to make them work, but I have always used socks5, now you have clarified my doubts ....
