Tun2Socks

❗️

Please be aware that the Tun2Socks App setup with our proxies will only work on an Android phone

🚧

Country endpoint support

Note that you have to use the gate.smartproxy.com endpoint and the 7000 port to use SOCKS5. Country endpoints like us.smartproxy.com will not work!

You can instead target specific locations by specifying the location in your username using the Single backconnect entry node method:

  • e.g.: user-SPusername-country-us will connect to the USA pool.
  • You can find out more in our detailed backconnect guides for Residential and Mobile proxies.

🚧

Proxy rotation

To get a sticky SOCKS5 proxy in a tool, you must use a session parameter, othersiwe, the proxy will always rotate even with a sessionduration parameter.

  • The session ID, can be defined by any string of your choice.
  • You can find out more in our detailed backconnect guides for Residential and Mobile proxies.
