Protocol Compatibility

Ensuring your application is compatible with PinguProxy's supported protocols is crucial for a smooth experience. Here's how to verify and troubleshoot protocol compatibility issues.

Supported Protocols

  • HTTP
  • HTTPS
  • SOCKS5

Note: All PinguProxy plans (Basic, Pro, Enterprise, and Custom) support both SOCKS5 and HTTP protocols.

Compatibility Steps

  1. Confirm your application supports HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 protocols
  2. Verify you're using the correct protocol configuration in your application
  3. Check our documentation for specific application setup guides
  4. Test connection using basic tools like cURL before implementing in your application

Testing Protocol Compatibility

Use these cURL commands to test different protocols:

# HTTP
curl --proxy http://username:password@proxy.pinguproxy.com:port http://example.com


# HTTPS
curl --proxy http://username:password@proxy.pinguproxy.com:port https://example.com


# SOCKS5
curl --proxy socks5://username:password@proxy.pinguproxy.com:port http://example.com

If you're experiencing protocol-specific issues, ensure your application is configured correctly and try testing with different protocols if available.
