Socks the cat mascot

Proxies that just purr.

One endpoint, every protocol. socks.cat auto-detects SOCKS5, SOCKS4/4a, HTTP and HTTPS from the first byte, then routes you upstream - directly or through a multi-hop chain - translating protocols on the way.

Why socks.cat

Auto-detect

No per-port setup. The router sniffs the inbound protocol and picks the right handler automatically.

Translate

Come in as SOCKS5, leave as HTTP - or any of the sixteen inbound → upstream combinations.

Chain

Hop through several proxies in strict or random order for an extra layer between you and the destination.

Private by default

No JS. No email. No name. Register and you get a one-time account; fund it via payment of your choice and traffic is credited automatically. Anonymous proxies, Tor & I2P, full transparency, the way privacy should work.

Don't trust us, verify: the router that carries your traffic is fully open source
