Proxyforu primarily supports TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) for its residential and unlimited proxy services, while UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is not currently supported for proxy traffic transmission.
Protocol Details
Our proxy infrastructure is optimized for TCP, which ensures reliable, ordered data delivery critical for most use cases:
- TCP Compatibility: Works seamlessly with HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 application-layer protocols, supporting web scraping, SEO monitoring, and account management.
- Reliability Focus: TCP’s error-checking and retransmission mechanisms align with our 99.9% uptime guarantee for stable proxy connections.
- UDP Limitation: While UDP is faster for real-time applications, its connectionless nature conflicts with our residential proxy authentication and rotation systems.
All TCP-based traffic benefits from our 90M+ global IP pool, auto-rotation, and whitelisting features. For UDP-specific needs, contact our support team to explore alternative solutions.
