What is the version of socks proxy?

What is the SMTP feature of socks proxy?
If a socks proxy supports smtp, you can use it to send emails. SMTP stands for Simple Mail Tranfer Protocal.
What is the gateway feature of socks proxy?
If you are using a gateway proxy (eg. 22.33.44.55), it won't access the websites directly, it connects to another proxy (eg. 22.33.44.1) and then use that proxy to fetch the web pages for you. The web server will think your IP is 22.33.44.1, while you expect it to be 22.33.44.55.
If you want to be identified as two IP by the server, you should not use the gateway proxies. However it makes no difference if you only want to surf anonymously. Here is an example of gateway proxies.
What is the danger feature of socks proxy?
Some socks proxy servers are owned by government organizations such as FBI, CIA, NASA and Army. Your activity on those proxies is usually monitored and logged. Hackers call those socks proxies "dangerous" socks proxy.
What is the udp feature of socks5 proxy?
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a simpler and faster protocol than TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) but it's unreliable so it's usually used for transferring voice and video, not file. Only socks5 proxy supports UDP.
Why Socks Proxy Checker works slow when testing socks proxylist?
Windows XP & Vista limit the maximal TCP connection to 10 for safety. But you can only test 10 proxies simultaneously, which makes the testing process extremely long. You can use this patch to modify your maximal TCP connection number. After patching, you can set the threads to 24, which can make the testing process much faster.
What is SSL/HTTPS?
SSL provides a secure channel for your computer to talk to a secure website (such as PayPal and Craigslist) whose url starts with "https://" rather than the usual "http://". socks proxy supports SSL/HTTPS.
