SOCKS5
A general-purpose proxy protocol that relays TCP connections, and optionally UDP, without understanding HTTP.
SOCKS5 works for any traffic, not only web requests, which makes it useful for tools that are not browsers. It also supports username and password authentication.
This entry defines the protocol in general. Which protocols a given line supports is shown in your dashboard.
