Can a win2socks proxy be used as a proxy?


Asked by Moises Sosa on Dec 10, 2021 FAQ



Win2Socks enables applications to access the network through SOCKS5, HTTPS, Shadowsocks or Trojan proxy, even though they do not support proxy. Redirect network traffic (TCP & UDP) to SOCKS5, HTTPS, Shadowsocks or Trojan proxy by Process, File Name, IP Address or Port.
Keeping this in consideration,
A SOCKS proxy is a server that uses the SOCKS protocol to route your data – unlike a VPN, it does so without encryption. SOCKS5 is just the latest, fastest version of SOCKS protocol.
Next, Win2Socks is a transparent proxy software for Windows that allows programs, software, or games that do not support proxy setup to access the network through a proxy, supports transparent forwarding of TCP and UDP traffic. Currently, Win2Socks has built-in support for the SOCKS5, HTTPS and Shadowsocks protocols.
Subsequently,
People can use paid-for or free proxy servers as a service provided by companies. This is useful if the proxy server is in a different country! A UK user, for instance, can have a US proxy server handle their data, allowing them to access US-restricted websites.
Indeed,
Several methods are available to configure Windows to use a proxy server to connect to the Internet. The method that will work the best for you depends on the kinds of apps that you're using. We recommend you use WPAD to configure Windows to use an Internet proxy server. The configuration is done through DNS or DHCP.
