Socks5
Socks5 is a proxy protocol that forwards TCP and, in some setups, UDP traffic. It does not provide encryption by itself, so security depends on the surrounding network and server setup.
In Clash Party, Socks5 nodes are usually managed through Clash Meta profiles and can be selected in proxy groups like other node types.
Check authentication fields if the server requires a username and password.
