UDP Proxies
UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol and is an essential element of internet communications. What makes UDP unique is that a traditional handshake is not required to initiate the connection. Many computer games utilize UDP for its robustness, speed, and simplicity. A proxy server adds a much-needed security layer to UDP, combining ease of use with top-notch encryption and caching. This guide will help you get the best of both worlds so that you never need to sacrifice privacy for speed.

Want to Know the Most Important Points about UDP Proxies?
It's helpful to understand how UDP operates to know how valuable the protocol is and how a proxy can benefit you over a UDP connection.
But first, let's explain what a UDP proxy server is.
A UDP proxy is an intermediary server for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) traffic between your device and the target server. It’s similar to a standard HTTP proxy but only works over a UDP connection. UDP proxies enjoy the same features and benefits as their HTTP and TCP counterparts.
A high-quality UDP proxy allows you to bypass any network restrictions, blocks, or caps and stream without limits. Whether your use is business or personal, we have an extensive worldwide network of residential and datacenter proxies at your disposal.
FAQ
What is the difference between SOCKS5 and UDP?
SOCKS5 is a versatile proxy protocol that supports multiple types of traffic, including TCP and UDP. UDP is a simple and fast transport layer protocol designed for connectionless communication between devices.
Based on the protocol limitations, UDP proxies can only handle UDP or User Datagram Protocol traffic, whereas SOCKS5 proxies can handle various types of traffic, including UDP.
Does an HTTP proxy support UDP?
HTTP proxy servers don’t support UDP traffic. They are designed to handle only HTTP traffic over TCP and manage an HTTP connection. If you need UDP support, you should consider USP or SOCKS proxies.
Does IPTV use UDP?
Yes, IPTV streaming often uses the UDP protocol. This protocol is preferred for reasons such as low latency and high speeds, resulting in efficient streaming.
How do I set up a UDP proxy?
The exact method for configuring a UDP proxy server depends on your specific system, although we have several guides on our blog for the most popular devices. You can always contact us 24/7 if you need help setting up a computer, phone, or other peripheral.
Are TCP ports different from UDP ports?
Yes, they are different, although they can sometimes share the same port number. For instance, TCP port 53 and UDP port 53 are used for DNS despite representing different connection types.

Been using this company for a couple of months now and it's so far the best one I've tried. The IPs are not banned and if you have any issue with them you can work with Customer Service to ensure your satisfaction. It happened to me where I needed to swap IPs and they were really helpful. In addition to decent IPs (they work great for me) the customer service is very reliable. The last CS rep that worked with me, Danica, was really patient and helped me with an error I was getting. I always learn stuff when I work with these guys. Five stars. Thanks.

FINALLY I got something that was not detected as vpn/proxy. Tried everything before this and finally when purchasing a static residential proxy from IPRoyal I got an IP that was not detected by all the vpn/proxy checker services. Very happy. Also I added custom instructions to the order that I wanted IP that was not detected, manager May could have (or not) influenced the result. I tried a dedicated IP from large VPN providers, and it was detected immediately.
