Hi Apify team,
Hi Apify team,
I’d like to suggest adding support for SOCKS5 and SOCKS5h proxies. Currently, only HTTP proxies are supported, which means DNS resolution is done locally from Apify’s servers. This causes a DNS leak: the IP address that resolves the domain and the IP that makes the request are different, which websites can detect and use to trigger blocks or restrictions.
With SOCKS5h, both traffic and DNS queries would go through the proxy, ensuring consistency, anonymity, and improving scraping effectiveness. This would be a very valuable feature for more advanced or detection-sensitive projects.
Thank you for considering it.
