Socket Secure [SOCKS], an Internet protocol that routes network packets between a client and server through a proxy server. [SOCKS5] additionally provides authentication

Socket Secure [SOCKS] is an Internet protocol that routes network packets between a client and server through a proxy server. SOCKS5 additionally provides authentication so only authorized users may access a server.

SOCKS performs at Layer 5 of the OSI model (the session layer, an intermediate layer between the presentation layer and the transport layer).
