My VPN plan is up for renewal, and I’d like to move from my current provider (Privado) to one that supports port forwarding while maintaining access to a SOCKS5 service.

AirVPN would have been my choice, but doesn’t have SOCKS5.

Private Internet Access checks off the boxes but I’m not familiar with the company behind it.

Thanks for the help and recommendations.

    SOCKS like the other proxy types can be configured per application and not exclusively as an interface in kernel mode or something else in userspace mode.

      can be configured per application

      wireguard can too using network namespaces

      not exclusively as an interface in kernel mode

      Which devices are you people running where you want VPN/proxy but don’t have kernel permissions to run wireguard? Firefox on iPhone? Porn on wifi washing machine?
