SOCKS

SOCKS is a protocol that acts as a middleman between your device and the internet, allowing you to connect securely and privately. When you use a SOCKS proxy, your internet traffic first goes to the proxy server, which then forwards it to the website or service you’re accessing. This helps hide your IP address and can bypass restrictions or firewalls. SOCKS is versatile because it supports different types of internet protocols, making it useful for various applications like browsing, messaging, and gaming, while maintaining your privacy and security online.
