Think browsers, APIs, or apps that use HTTP protocols.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Example<\/em>: Checking Google rankings with an SEO tool.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SOCKS5 Proxies<\/strong>: Protocol-agnostic. They handle anything: emails (SMTP), torrents (UDP), even gaming traffic.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Example<\/em>: Downloading large files via BitTorrent without exposing your IP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Proxy302 Integration Tip<\/strong>: Need to switch protocols on the fly?
