Depending on the purpose of use, each https or socks5 proxy is good in its own way and each of them is the best for solving different types of problems.

Socks5

Puncture Socks5 is an improved version of Socks4 and is best for use in various applications that have the ability to be so customized. Also, Socks5 does not modify traffic and transmits it as is, which eliminates errors during data transmission.

In most reviews you can find that socks5 is more secure and anonymous compared to https proxies, although https proxies can be configured with a high level of anonymity.

HTTP/S

This type of proxy allows you to configure many rules and restrictions on traffic, access, and greater opportunities for maintaining statistics for each user. It has great compatibility with many browsers and applications.

If you need a proxy for use in the browser, as well as for use in linux repositories, an http proxy will be the best choice.

We configured both types of proxies on one VPS server to compare the speed and quality of work in the FireFox browser. For easy comparison, we installed the Proxy Toggle plugin, it allows you to switch between different types of proxies in one click. We did not notice any visual difference on typical websites; speedtest showed approximately the same result on both types.
