SOCKS5 support
Confirm the application explicitly supports SOCKS5 rather than assuming all network software does.
SOCKS5 proxy
A flexible proxy standard for compatible applications.
SOCKS5 sits below application protocols such as HTTP, which makes it useful in software that explicitly supports SOCKS proxy routing.
Typical setup
Choose SOCKS5 in the application, then enter the Zenproxy endpoint.
The exact fields differ by software, but a conventional setup uses host, port and authentication details.

Things to check
Support varies by application.
DNS behavior
Some applications can resolve hostnames through SOCKS5 while others may resolve them locally. The app's documentation matters.
Authentication
Use the credential format and endpoint information provided for your Zenproxy plan.
