Overview

What is Socksip

Socksip implements SOCKS5 proxying, which differs fundamentally from the HTTP proxy method used by most other apps on this list. SOCKS5 operates at a lower level and routes all traffic types rather than just HTTP requests, which means networks that have learned to identify and block HTTP proxy traffic often cannot block SOCKS5 without also breaking legitimate applications. It is the correct fallback when HTTP-based tunnels are consistently failing.

Decision guide

When to use Socksip

Use Socksip when

✓HTTP proxy-based apps like HTTP Custom are consistently being blocked on your network

✓You need a proxy that handles all traffic types, not just web browsing

✓Your network blocks HTTP proxy ports but has not blocked SOCKS5 ports yet

✓You want an alternative protocol approach without switching to SSH or TLS tunnelling

Switch to another app when

◆SOCKS5 ports are also being blocked , try SSH-based apps like Ha Tunnel Plus

◆You need faster speeds , SOCKS5 overhead is higher than HTTP proxy on most networks

◆Configs are not working , the SOCKS server may be down, download a fresh config

◆You want obfuscation support , SOCKS5 does not disguise traffic signatures

FAQ

Socksip questions answered

Socksip uses .sip config files. Download and import the file before connecting.

SOCKS5 is a proxy protocol that routes all network traffic through a server. Unlike HTTP proxies, SOCKS5 works with any type of traffic, not just web browsing.

Open Socksip, tap Import Profile, select the .sip file from your downloads, then tap Connect.

Use Socksip when HTTP-based tunnels are blocked or throttled on your network. SOCKS5 uses different ports and is harder for networks to selectively block.

The SOCKS server in the config may be down or your network may be blocking that port. Try a different config from our list.

Socksip works on Android 5.0 and above which covers the vast majority of devices in use today.

Yes. Socksip is free to download and the configs on this page are free. Some servers have limited capacity so speeds vary.
