Socks5

Socks5 is an encrypted transmission protocol originally created by the V2Ray project, designed specifically to counter Deep Packet Inspection (DPI). It is a TCP-based encrypted transmission protocol where all data is transmitted using TCP, hiding real communication content through encryption and obfuscation technologies.

Features of Socks5

• Encrypted Transmission: Uses encryption algorithms such as AES-128-CFB or ChaCha20 to protect data security.
• Obfuscation Technology: Makes traffic appear like normal HTTPS traffic through obfuscation, countering DPI detection.
• Dynamic Port: Supports dynamic port binding to increase concealment.
• Multi-Platform Support: Full platform support including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
• Flexible Configuration: Supports multiple transmission methods (TCP, mKCP, WebSocket, HTTP/2, etc.).

Socks5 and Clash

Clash for Windows supports the Socks5 protocol and can import subscription links containing Socks5 nodes. Configuring Socks5 requires the following parameters:

• server: Server address
• port: Server port
• uuid: User UUID
• alterId: Additional ID (0-65535)
• cipher: Encryption method (auto/aes-128-gcm/chacha20-poly1305)
