The main purpose of any proxy is to replace the real IP address with an anonymous IP address when online. It is important to note that Socks5 proxies can provide the necessary privacy for automated tasks, however, one should make sure to get them from a reliable provider like Pia S5 proxy to trust sensitive data.

Below are four key benefits to using a Socks5 proxy with SSH tunneling.

1. Access Back-End Services Behind a Firewall

Usually, a cluster is hosted in the cloud behind a firewall to minimize potential security vulnerabilities. There are two ways to access any backend services that are running inside a cluster, and each has its limitations:
Expose backend services to public (and accept the associated security risk); or
Whitelist the client or user’s IP to allow traffic to backend services (this is not the right solution for when a user’s IP changes, however).

2. No special settings required

Socks5 requires no special setup and has SSH access to the cluster’s edge nodes or gateways. As a result, users such as administrators and developers can use SSH tunnels to access back-end resources behind the firewall without the need for a virtual private network (VPN). Download Client.

3. No third-party public or free proxy servers in customer deployments

Because Socks5 proxies route various TCP and UDP traffic to respective services via SSH tunnels, each service does not require a special proxy associated with a Layer 7 application to route application requests.

4. Fewer Errors, Better Performance

Unlike other application proxies, Socks5 does not rewrite packets. It simply relays traffic between devices. As a result, it is less error-prone and performance is automatically improved.
