Proxies

httpcloak speaks HTTP CONNECT, SOCKS5, SOCKS5 with UDP, and MASQUE. Pick whichever one your upstream actually offers and your protocol mix needs.

In this section

• Overview: when to pick what, what each protocol carries, what it solves.
• HTTP CONNECT: the classic. Plain HTTPS tunneling.
• SOCKS5: the residential-provider workhorse, with auth.
• SOCKS5 UDP: UDP ASSOCIATE for pushing HTTP/3 through SOCKS5.
• MASQUE: HTTP/3 CONNECT-UDP. QUIC inside QUIC.
• Source Address Binding: pin every dial to a local IP you pick.
