Socks5

SOCKS5 is defined by RFC 1928 as a session-layer proxy protocol. It sits below application protocols and cares little about what the payload is: any TCP connection, and UDP flows via the ASSOCIATE command, can be handed to a SOCKS5 server for forwarding.

What SOCKS5 Offers

• Protocol neutrality: Proxies browsers, email, file transfer and countless other TCP apps.
• UDP support: Relays UDP packets through UDP ASSOCIATE.
• Auth variants: No-auth or username/password negotiation.
• Broad adoption: A standard listener type across Clash-family applications.
