A SOCKS5 proxy is a proxy server that routes your Internet traffic through an intermediate server. This is useful in many situations, such as:
1. Bypassing geo-restrictions: If a website is blocked in your country, you can use the SOCKS5 proxy to access it.
2. Protecting your privacy: The SOCKS5 proxy can help hide your IP address and protect your online activities from being tracked.
3. Improve security: SOCKS5 proxy encrypts your traffic, making it harder for hackers to intercept your data.

How does the SOCKS5 Proxy Server work?
When you connect to the Internet using the SOCKS5 proxy, your computer first connects to the proxy server. The proxy server then connects to the website or other online service you want to visit. The proxy server then forwards traffic between your computer and the website.
