SOCKS is a proxy server, and works similarly to a VPN. The proxy server is much faster than a VPN. The main difference is that the proxy server isn’t encrypted. The data is still hidden and secure though, but the only part that is encrypted is the initial access to the proxy server. It is recommended to use SOCKS5 if you want better security.
Best uses for SOCKS5 proxy servers:
More bandwidth required
Torrenting or using peer-to-peer services (if you want faster speed)
Hiding your location
Bypassing geographic or content blocking
Improved security over regular proxies
Best uses for a VPN:
Secure web browsing
Torrenting or using peer-to-peer services (when more encryption and security is desired)
Getting past firewalls
Bypassing geographic or content blocking
Better privacy protections than SOCKS5
Based on the above features, I recommend a Socks5 proxy that can perfectly replace the 911 s5: Pia s5.
The recommended reasons are as follows:
50 million+ premium residential IPs
Country, state, city, ISP and ZIP location, IP choose
Easy third party software/script integration such as Chrome, Firefox, fingerprint browsers, emulators, etc.
Fast IP+port setup
180+ countries/regions worldwide
No complicated process, easy for beginners to get started
Pia S5 offers unparalleled security and speed to shop, surf the web and conduct competitor research in complete anonymity.
