Protocol

HTTP

Our product documentation includes code samples showing how to connect to a proxy using the HTTP protocol. This protocol is supported by both common libraries and third-party software.

You can also use a fully encrypted connection via HTTP protocol for added security. To do this, you must add http:// to your proxy entry point. For example: http://us.na.proxys5.net:7777 (this also works for country-specific entry points).

SOCKS5

To use the SOCKS5 protocol, you need to add SOCKS5h to your request, for example:

curl -x socks5h://as.proxys5.net:6200 -U "USERNAME-zone-custom-region-DE-sessid-abc12345-sessTime-15:PASSWORD" ipinfo.io
