AutomationNinja 194 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I didn't quite understand all that. I did get a great answer from Meter which helped me clarify this for me. "#1 Private socks proxies let you use protocols other than HTTP. For example, you use a protocol called "POP3" when you login to Gmail servers with POP. If you want to cloak your IP when using POP, you must use socks proxies. #2 No idea #3Socks proxies != VPNSocks proxies != Browser proxies, but can be used as browser proxies (since HTTP is just another protocol, just like POP)" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
