# What protocols does Swiftproxy support?

All Swiftproxy products fully support both HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5 protocols, offering maximum flexibility for your use cases.

#### **HTTP/HTTPS Protocols**

Ideal for standard web browsing, SEO monitoring, ad verification, and accessing geo-restricted content through most browsers and automation tools.

* Compatible with popular browsers and scraping tools
* Efficient and widely supported across the web

#### **SOCKS5 Protocol**

Best for advanced scenarios that require faster speeds, full traffic tunneling, or more complex applications such as automation, streaming, or P2P tasks.

* Provides better performance and broader compatibility
* Works at a lower level, supporting more data types
