Disposable Mail and SOCKS-Proxy for Anonymous and Safe Communication in the Internet


Everyone who wants to protect himself from intruders try to organize safe and anonymous access to web servers. Nowadays, almost all users can lose their personal data and “catch” a virus if they disclose their real email and IP-address. Even your provider can be your “enemy”, if he restricts your access to some websites and services, used by you for comfortable work and leisure.

Previously, the organization of safe and anonymous access to the internet could be performed only by data security professionals, who had a vast knowledge of network protocols and philosophy of networking. Besides that, users had to install additional software with complex configuration.

In recent years, this situation has changed as a lot of “one click” services for anonymous communication appeared in the internet. The easiest way is to use SOCKS-proxy and disposable mail to hide your activity from intruders and to get an access to websites and services, blocked by your provider.

What is SOCKS-proxy and how it works

Socks-proxy is a remote proxy server for transparent and anonymous data transfer from client to some server. In contrast to widely used http proxy, socks proxy enables you to use proxy server not only for browsers, but also for all software, installed on your device. For example, using socks proxy you can proxify your email clients, messengers, etc.

To establish socks proxy connection you need to get an access to SOCKS Proxy and to install and configure special software for forwarding traffic through socks server (for example, SocksCap, FreeCap, etc).

How to get an access to Socks Proxy

  1. Open https://admin.5socks.net/ and log into your account.

After logging in, you’ll get an access to your Administration Panel, where you can search available socks 4/5 proxy by different parameters (Proxy Search), choose any available proxy from list (List Proxies) or manage your account details (Account Settings).

  1. Click Proxy Search button and choose the country where the proxy servers you want to use are located.  Click Go to continue.

You’ll see the results with detailed information about all available proxy servers.

Click on the server name to view detailed information about proxy server. Press Click here to view to see an IP address of that proxy server.

  1. Wait a few seconds while the software connects to server. Next, you’ll see an information about IP address and port of the proxy server. Copy this information. In this example, the IP address is 83.85.214.142, port 58933.

Configuring Firefox for using SOCKS proxy server

In most cases, it’s enough to configure only web browser without installing any additional software.

  1. Launch Firefox, open setup panel and go to «Options». Open tab «Advanced», then «Network» and press «Settings» button.

  1. Enter this parameters:

  • Manual proxy configuration;

  • Enter port number (in this example - 58933);

  • Activate “SOCKS5” and “Remote DNS”;

  • Click «ОК».

  1. Done.
