  • Use socks5h:// if you want DNS resolution to happen through the SOCKS5 proxy, ensuring better privacy and avoiding DNS leakage.
  • Use socks5:// if you're okay with DNS resolution happening locally on the client.

This distinction is important when using tools like curl, networking libraries, or applications that rely on proxies.


I found that requests often fail because of this detail, and I just encountered it again. Let's add it to the documentation.


Additionally, I think this SOCKS proxy feature is very useful, but the current version on PyPI doesn't include this feature. If possible, could you release a new version to PyPI?😄
