HTTP proxies are specialized intermediaries designed for web-based traffic. They use the HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) to route your web requests through their servers, effectively hiding your IP address. These proxies follow a client-server model where your device (the client) sends requests to web servers through the proxy. Once the server responds, the proxy forwards the data back to you. This setup not only gives you anonymity, it also adds a layer of security, since each request is separate from the next.

SOCKS5, short for SOCKet Secure 5, is the most current version of the SOCKS internet protocol. Designed for multiple data traffic types, it's not just limited to web browsing. It uses TCP connections to ensure data reaches its destination reliably. Unlike HTTP/S proxies, SOCKS5 doesn't inspect or alter the data, making it versatile for different applications. However, this lack of data interpretation means it doesn't inherently offer the same level of security as HTTPS proxies.

HTTP/S proxies are mainly designed for web traffic and can be tailored to various tasks due to their ability to understand web data. SOCKS5 is more flexible, not being tied to any specific network protocol, making it useful for a wider range of tasks, including bypassing firewalls.
