Not a separate product
SOCKS5 is enabled on published Unlimited plans. You buy an IP type, then choose the protocol.

Buy SOCKS5 Proxies for Browsers and TCP Clients
SOCKS5 is a tunnel format for mixed TCP clients — not an IP category. Enable it in the dashboard on the Mobile, Residential, or Corporate plan you already chose. HTTP remains available on those same endpoints when a tool expects it.

Why Choose
Why teams pick SOCKS5 on Proxy Grove
One protocol across every published Unlimited plan — without buying a fourth SKU.
Tool-friendly endpoints
Works with browsers, antidetect profiles, and clients that require a SOCKS5 URL.
Generic TCP tunneling
SOCKS5 carries more than typical HTTP proxy requests, which helps mixed automation stacks.
Same geo targeting
Country and city options follow the Mobile, Residential, or Corporate plan you select.
Sticky or rotating
Keep one IP for logins, or rotate IPs for large public-data jobs — protocol does not change that.
Username or IP auth
Authenticate with credentials or allowlisting, then point host, port, and SOCKS5 at your client.
HTTP still included
Need Python requests or an SEO tool that only speaks HTTP? Switch protocol on the same IPs.
Unlimited per-IP plans
Published plans are priced per IP for 1, 7, 30, or 90 days — not a SOCKS5-only SKU.
24/7 technical support
Telegram @proxygroveapp and email support for endpoint, port, and client setup questions.
Use Cases
Where SOCKS5 fits better than HTTP
Use SOCKS5 when the client expects a SOCKS endpoint. Use HTTP for most SEO tools and Python requests.

Antidetect browsers
GoLogin, AdsPower, and similar tools often expect socks5://user:pass@host:port.
Playwright & Puppeteer
Headless browsers can egress through SOCKS5 when HTTP proxying is not enough.
Mixed TCP tools
Clients that are not HTTP-only can tunnel through SOCKS5 on the same purchased IPs.
SEO stacks that support SOCKS
Some rank trackers accept SOCKS5; others need HTTP — both exist on Proxy Grove plans.
Scrapers with SOCKS adapters
Use SOCKS5 when your library’s proxy transport is SOCKS rather than HTTP CONNECT.
App and site QA
Test journeys from geo-accurate IPs while the client speaks SOCKS5.
Business automation
Keep sticky SOCKS5 sessions for multi-step flows that must not change IP mid-task.
Market research
Collect public pages through the IP type you bought, connected over SOCKS5.
Features
SOCKS5 features on every Unlimited plan
Same targeting, sessions, and auth as the IP type you buy — SOCKS5 is the wire format.
SOCKS5 endpoints
Select SOCKS5 in the dashboard after you buy Mobile, Residential, or Corporate.
HTTP on the same plan
Flip to HTTP/HTTPS CONNECT when the tool does not speak SOCKS.
Sticky sessions
Hold the same IP for a configured window during logins and checkouts.
Rotating sessions
Change IPs on a schedule or per request for broader collection jobs.
Country targeting
Pick a country on the IP type you purchase; SOCKS5 does not limit geo options.
City targeting
Available where the chosen network exposes city-level endpoints.
Username & password
Credential auth compatible with most SOCKS5 clients.
IP allowlisting
Allowlist your source IP where the plan supports it.
Dashboard access
Create, copy, and rotate credentials from app.proxygrove.com.
How It Works
Connect with SOCKS5 in four steps
Pick Mobile, Residential, or Corporate first. Then select SOCKS5 in the dashboard and point your client at the endpoint.
Choose an IP type
Open Mobile, Residential, or Corporate — SOCKS5 is not sold as its own pool.
Pick duration and quantity
Unlimited per-IP plans for 1, 7, 30, or 90 days, starting from $2/IP.
Select SOCKS5
In configure, set protocol to SOCKS5 (HTTP remains an option on the same IPs).
Paste host, port, and auth
Point your client at socks5://user:pass@host:port and start the job.
Global Coverage
SOCKS5 coverage across 246 countries
Country targeting follows the IP type you purchase. SOCKS5 does not add extra locations.

FAQ
SOCKS5 proxy questions, answered
Protocol vs IP type, HTTP comparison, sessions, and how to start.
SOCKS5 is a flexible proxy protocol that can carry TCP traffic for browsers, scripts, and many automation tools. Proxy Grove exposes SOCKS5 on Mobile, Residential, and Corporate plans.
No. Choose Mobile, Residential, or Corporate IPs, then connect with SOCKS5 or HTTP. The protocol is available on published Unlimited plans.
Use HTTP/HTTPS for most SEO tools and Python requests. Use SOCKS5 when the client expects a SOCKS endpoint or you need a more generic TCP tunnel.
Yes. Configure sticky or rotating sessions in the dashboard, then point your SOCKS5 client at the endpoint.
Country targeting belongs to the IP type you buy. SOCKS5 is only how you connect to those IPs.
SOCKS5 as a protocol can carry UDP ASSOCIATE in clients that support it. Confirm the transport your tool actually uses; most Proxy Grove workloads run TCP over SOCKS5 or HTTP.
Yes, if they accept a SOCKS5 host, port, and username/password. Create the proxy in the dashboard and paste the connection string into the profile.
Anonymity comes from the IP class (residential, mobile, corporate), not from SOCKS vs HTTP. Pick the IP type for trust; pick the protocol for client compatibility.
There is no SOCKS5-only price. Unlimited Residential and Corporate start from $2/IP/day; Mobile from $4.50/IP/day. SOCKS5 is included.
