Hoody's SOCKS5 proxies are a powerful addition to your privacy arsenal, offering wide compatibility and versatility. SOCKS5 proxies can be easily integrated into various applications, devices, and platforms, like Android/iOS, smart TVs, browsers, and more. They can even be used in conjunction with VPNs for enhanced security and privacy.
Every connection through Hoody passes through a Hoody Relay before reaching the chosen Exit IP, concealing online activities from ISPs and other monitoring parties.
Hoody offers Bulletproof locations for SOCKS5 proxies, routing each request through a different Exit IP, making it extremely difficult to trace user activities.
Hoody's premium SOCKS5 proxy locations include:
Hoody's free SOCKS5 proxy locations include:
Free locations are limited to 1MB/s per user per IP. Refer to our logging policy to understand how we maintain anonymity while throttling speed.
Users can view the list of available free proxies in the Hoody Dashboard.
Hoody maintains a strict zero-logs policy, storing no information about your connections or activities. We do not collect or store any data related to your proxy activity, browsing history, IP address, connection, DNS queries, or traffic destination.
We believe in the fundamental right to privacy and will never compromise on this principle.
In the Hoody Dashboard, users can generate SOCKS5 credentials (username/password) that are separate from their anonymous Hoody Key. This separation adds an extra layer of privacy and security.
However, SOCKS5 credentials are transmitted in clear text due to the protocol's limitations. To mitigate this, we strongly recommend users to generate self-expiring credentials and renew them frequently.
Users can set their SOCKS5 credentials to automatically expire after a specified time, such as 24 hours. By regularly renewing their credentials, users can minimize the risk of their traffic being correlated over time, ensuring optimal anonymity, the more frequently you renew your credentials, the better your privacy will be.
The Hoody Anonymous Proxy browser extension enables easy usage of SOCKS5 proxies from the Hoody Dashboard.
