**ProxySocks5: Providing Proxies from Locations All Around the World**

Today, we rely on the web more than ever to complete all our tasks right from receiving news updates to shopping online as well as browsing for information. While incessantly using the internet, we fail to consider the inherent dangers of the web such as breaches in data security and identity theft. 

**What is a Proxy Server?**

If you are looking to protect your privacy every time you are using the internet, one of the easiest ways to do so is by using a proxy server. A proxy server is a gateway between you and the web and details of your online trail is stored on the server rather than on your device. 

Your device sends the request to the proxy server that in turn processes the request and returns the data that you require. Thus, a proxy server acts as an intermediary between your device and the other computers on the internet. 

**Why do you need a Proxy Server?**

Proxy servers provide you with privacy when you go on the internet. They assist in filtering web content and screening uploads and downloads. You can circumvent parental blocks or location-specific restrictions through proxy servers as they allow you to look like you are in a different location, thereby granting access to websites that are originally offered to people in the specific location. Additionally, if you want to browse the internet anonymously, a proxy can assist in hiding your home IP address and show the proxy server IP address instead. 

With proxy servers you can monitor and control the internet usage of your employees and kids. You can easily configure the server and deny access to specific websites as well as monitor and log web requests. You can use proxy servers to improve your organization's network performance as the proxy server caches popular webpages. When a user asks for a specific webpage, the server first checks for a recent copy of the website and subsequently provides the user with the saved copy. Thus, if several people are using the same website from the same proxy then instead of sending multiple requests, the server sends only one request to the website thereby improving the network performance and saving bandwidth. 

**Purchasing a Proxy Server**

We at [ProxySocks5](https://proxysocks5.com/product/residential-socksv5-proxy/) offer a wide range of proxies and SOCKS5 to suit your requirements. These proxies provide the highest level of privacy and anonymity. Below is a list of our products that you can select from:

[**Anonymous Dedicated Proxy**](https://proxysocks5.com/product/dedicated-proxy/): Our dedicated [HTTP](https://proxysocks5.com/product/http-proxy/) and [HTTPS](https://proxysocks5.com/product/https-proxy/) proxies have a dedicated robust infrastructure built by our team of professionals and owned by a single entity. To prevent any mistakes or accidental sharing, we do prohibit our dedicated proxies from being shared, re-sold, or re-used. 

[**Shared Proxy**](https://proxysocks5.com/product/shared-proxy/)**:** Our stack of products also includes shared proxies that are available at lower prices. We maintain the quality of these shared proxies similar to the dedicated proxies to avoid crowding the IP address.

[**Residential Proxy:**](https://proxysocks5.com/product/residential-proxy/)You may find it difficult to find residential proxies elsewhere as they are only linked to real internet users and unlike other proxies do not sit on servers. We are one of the few companies that are able to provide residential proxies that appear to be handled by a real person behind the IP address as they are allotted through an Internet Service Provider (ISP). 

Our residential proxies are 'Residential' but they are actually linked to a data center that allows you to enjoy the same speed, durability, and stability that you would experience through a server-backed proxy but with the benefit of being distinguished by a residential IP. This helps our proxies perform better as they are not flagged like normal proxies. 

[**Dedicated SOCKS5 Proxy:**](https://proxysocks5.com/product/socksv5-proxy/) HTTP proxies have a shortcoming that they can be applied to only HTTP traffic. If you are looking for a more versatile product that can be applied to any protocol or port you can choose our fully anonymous SOCKS5 proxy.

[**Shared SOCKS5 Proxy:**](https://proxysocks5.com/product/shared-socksv5-proxy/) We also provide shared SOCKS5 proxies at lower prices. These shared SOCKS5 proxies have features similar to the dedicated proxies as we restrict the crowding of the IP addresses. 

[**Residential SOCKS5 Proxy**](https://proxysocks5.com/product/residential-socksv5-proxy/)**:** Residential SOCKS5 proxy appears to be allotted through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that indicates that a real person is operating the IP address. Such residential proxies are hard to find as they do not sit on servers and are tied to real internet users. 

Similar to residential proxies, we provide residential SOCKS5 proxies that are linked to a datacenter so they can be categorized as 'Residential' while allowing our customers to enjoy the high speeds and durability of a server-backed proxy. This also helps the proxies perform better without being flagged like normal proxies as it is covered with a residential IP.

Providing Proxies from Locations All Around the World

## What are Dedicated Proxies/SOCKS5?


**Dedicated proxies** or also known as **datacenter proxies** are the most common types of proxy. In fact, probably they are the first proxies you can think of.
Dedicated proxies, don't have anything to do with your internet connection or internet service provider(ISP). These are stored on servers, and when you are connecting to them, your IP address will change and this will provide anonymity on internet, this means you can easily scrape data, buy sneakers, search google from specific areas, or access location restricted website, but some sites have proxy detection mechanism which can identify a dedicated proxy or SOCKS5, but with residential proxy/socks5 you will not have this problem.


## What are Residential Proxies/SOCKS5?
 
 
When you are connecting to the internet you're using a residential IP address. Your IP address identifies who you are and where you live, and allows you to connect to various websites or apps. For example, let's say that you call AT&T or Verizon to get a subscription to their's internet services. They send you a modem or a router, and after setting it up, you are online. A residential IP address allows you to do this without a residential IP address, you can't connect to a Dedicated proxy or a VPN, because you don't have internet access. 

Every computer in the world comes wit a unique IP address, this a way to identify you online. At some internet providers you can get a static IP address, this mean that once the IP was assign to you, it will remain your's until cancel your subscription with the ISP, or you can get a dynamic IP address. Dynamic IP address means that every time you restart your modem/router you can get a new IP address from your ISP, but from the same IP class. This is because while you restarted your modem/router, you restarted the connection between you and your ISP, and a new IP address was assigned to you.

Using a residential socks5 or proxy, you have low to none,  chances of getting banned on site's you are using, and you can access location restricted websites which have proxy detection mechanisms, because they can't tell if the IP you are using is a proxy or a normal one.

Some residential proxy providers are selling botnet proxies. This means that a bot program is running on user's computers(legitimate or not), and when you are connecting to them, you actually are using the computer connection of a guy across the world. This can be bad for you or for him, depending who is doing "bad stuff" on internet.
If he is doing fraudulent transactions on the internet, you can become a suspect in that case.

However, our company is not selling botnet proxies, as you can read [here](https://proxysocks5.com/product/residential-proxy/) and [here](https://proxysocks5.com/product/residential-socksv5-proxy/), our **Residential SOCKS5** and **Residential Proxy**, are still tied to a datacenter, but they are announce as Residential. There is no difference between a your IP address and our Residential SOCKS5 and Residential Proxy in terms of proxy detection. This is also good, because being tied to a datacenter, you don't need to relay on someone internet speed, and you can benefit the full speed of a datacenter proxy.


## Dedicated Proxy/SOCKS5 vs Residential Proxy/SOCKS5


### Dedicated Proxies Pros:
1. They are much cheaper, you can get them for a few dollars a month, here at [ProxySocks5](https://proxysocks5.com) we sell them at $2/mo for a proxy and $2.5/mo for a socks5, you can get them cheaper if you buy more or on a extended period of time.
2. They are providing you anonymity on internet
3. They can be faster than residential proxies

### Dedicate Proxies Cons:
1. They are not as secured as residential ones
2. They can be detected as being a proxy by websites which have proxy detection mechanism
3. They can be easily blacklisted

### Residential Proxies Pros:
1. They are far more secure
2. They can not be detected as being a proxy
3. Low chances to none to be blacklisted(it more depends to you and how you use it, you can blacklist your own IP address)

### Residential Proxies Cons:
1. Harder to get
2. They are more expensive, we are trying to keep our prices as low as possible, so we are selling Residential Proxy starting at $4/mp and Residential SOCKS5 starting at $5/mo
3. You need to be careful from where do you get them, so they don't be stolen or botnet

In this article I will try to show you the differences between a residential proxy or socks5 vs dedicated proxy or socks5

Difference between Residential Proxy/SOCKS5 and Dedicated Proxy/SOCKS5

This guide will show you how to set up your browsers in order to use the HTTP proxies you purchased. You'll find tutorials on how to configure Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.

The first thing you need to do is to log in to your account and go to your purchased HTTP proxies(Dedicated or Shared).

![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4869/32329581788_b761b4ec99_b.jpg)

Choose the HTTP proxy you want to use and get its IP and Port.

![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4812/32329581738_36b8f952e1_b.jpg)

### Choose your authentication method

To connect to the proxy server, you need to choose one of the two authentication methods: By using a username and password or through IP Authentication.

On the right column, you can see the Proxy Credentials tab used for the user password authentication and the Authentication IPs tab used for the IP authentication.

![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1784/42885201482_3ea6c3c293_b.jpg)

### Get your proxy IP and port

First, log in to your account and go to your purchased proxies.

![](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/895/42934707871_7c355f8f7e_b.jpg)

Get the IP and Port of the proxy server you want to use. These are the credentials you'll be adding in the browser's proxy settings.

![Change your proxy server](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1767/41087197280_131ddb77dd_b.jpg)

### Choose your authentication method

To connect to the proxy server, you need to choose one of the two authentication methods: By using a username and password or through IP Authentication.

On the right column you can see the Proxy Credentials tab used for the user password authentication and the Authentication IPs tab used for the IP authentication.

![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1784/42885201482_3ea6c3c293_b.jpg)

If you choose to authenticate by using a username and password, you'll be asked to provide the credentials after you configure the browser to use the proxy server. A pop up window will open when you'll access a web page (you'll find a screenshot of this request in the following guides for each browser). 

You can find the username and password in your account under the Proxy Credentials tab. 

![Choose authentication method](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1730/41087197190_8a7a16bfdd_b.jpg)

How to configure browsers to use proxies you bought from us

Here you have a step by step guide with screenshots to guide you through the required proxy configuration on each browser.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To use the proxies you purchased you need to configure the browser of your choice accordingly. Here you have a step by step guide with screenshots to guide you through the required configuration on each browser.

### Get your proxy IP and port

First, log in to your account and go to your purchased HTTP proxies.

![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4806/44342750690_ed071d8dbe_b.jpg)

Get the IP and Port of the proxy server you want to use. These are the credentials you'll be adding in the browser's proxy settings.

![Change your proxy server](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1767/41087197280_131ddb77dd_b.jpg)

### Choose your authentication method

To connect to the proxy server, you need to choose one of the two authentication methods: By using a username and password or through IP Authentication.

On the right column you can see the Proxy Credentials tab used for the user password authentication and the Authentication IPs tab used for the IP authentication.

![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1784/42885201482_3ea6c3c293_b.jpg)

1.  Username & password authentication

If you choose to authenticate by using a username and password, you'll be asked to provide the credentials after you configure the browser to use the proxy server. A pop up window will open when you'll access a web page (you'll find a screenshot of this request in the following guides for each browser). 

You can find the username and password in your account under the Proxy Credentials tab. 

![Choose authentication method](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1730/41087197190_8a7a16bfdd_b.jpg)

The username is your account's username and it can't be changed. You can change the password by clicking on the passoword's field and typing in the desired password. The change will take place automatically. 

*This password is different from the password you use to log into your account.

![Choose authentication method](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1807/41087197070_e849ee140b.jpg)

This message will pop up after you add the proxy , press the "yes" button, if not go to Proxification_Rules

![Pop up rule.png](https://strapi-anon.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Pop_up_rule_f731eba1a8.png)

As a matter of course each profile additionally has a predefined rule called "Localhost." When this is empowered, Proxifier doesn't burrow nearby connections (loopbacks) on the PC. A few applications like Firefox can rely upon the loopback connections. You can alter or eliminate this standard, yet it is prescribed to keep it empowered except if you are certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have to burrow connections with 127.0.0.1 through a proxy.

If you want to use the proxy only for a specific application (ex: Google Chrome) add a new proxy rule.

![Add proxyfication rule.jpg](https://strapi-anon.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Add_proxyfication_rule_d29be1e6e8.jpg)

Name it; in the applications section browse Google Chrome and from the Action button select your proxy.

![Add chrome.png](https://strapi-anon.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Add_chrome_48e2783586.png)

The order of the rules is not going to affect anything, so you may sort them however you want.

![Chrome rule.png](https://strapi-anon.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Chrome_rule_dba7892302.png)

And after you finish this tutorial you are all set to navigate the internet with your new IP.
