Different proxy connection protocols are used depending on the task. The most common are HTTP and SOCKS5.

💡 There is no “good” or “bad” option:
The choice is defined by the protocol’s technical characteristics and the requirements of the specific use case.

Key differences:

● HTTP proxy – works only with HTTP/HTTPS (websites, APIs);
● SOCKS5 proxy – works with any traffic (any applications and protocols).

We’ve prepared an infographic outlining the technical differences between HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies.
