UDP support depends on the Rayobyte proxy service you're using. Residential Proxies support UDP through SOCKS5, while SOCKS5 connections on our Static Proxy services remain TCP-only.
➡️ Residential Proxy UDP Support
Do Residential Proxies support UDP?
Yes! Residential Proxies support UDP traffic through SOCKS5.
This includes support for UDP-based protocols and applications such as:
- HTTP/3
- QUIC
- STUN
- Other compatible UDP traffic
Residential SOCKS5 connections use port 1080. For current protocol details and connection instructions, see our Proxy Protocols documentation.
➡️ Static Proxy UDP Support
Do Static Proxies support UDP through SOCKS5?
No. SOCKS5 connections on our Static Proxy services are limited to TCP traffic and do not support UDP.
This applies to SOCKS5 connections on:
- Dedicated Data Center Proxies
- Semi-Dedicated Data Center Proxies
- Static ISP Proxies
- Semi-ISP Proxies
If your application specifically requires UDP, Residential SOCKS5 is the appropriate Rayobyte proxy option.
➡️ Other Rotating Proxy Services
What about Rotating Data Center and Rotating ISP Proxies?
Rotating Data Center and Rotating ISP Proxies use HTTP/HTTPS connections and do not currently provide SOCKS5 UDP support.
If your workflow requires SOCKS5 or UDP, check the protocol requirements of your application before selecting a proxy service.
