SOCKS Proxy HTTP/HTTPS Agent

JSON →
library 10.0.0 ·javascript
verified Jun 17, 2026

socks-proxy-agent is a Node.js module that provides an `http.Agent` implementation, enabling HTTP and HTTPS requests, and WebSocket connections, to be routed through a SOCKS proxy server. It supports SOCKS4, SOCKS4a, SOCKS5, and SOCKS5h protocols, offering flexibility in how connections are established and resolved. The current stable version is 10.0.0. The package is part of the broader `proxy-agents` monorepo by TooTallNate, which implies a release cadence often synchronized with its core dependency `agent-base` and Node.js LTS updates, as evidenced by the recent major version bump due to an increased minimum Node.js requirement. Its key differentiator is its focused and robust implementation for SOCKS proxies, making it suitable for scenarios requiring specific proxy tunneling capabilities for anonymity, bypassing geo-restrictions, or internal network access.
