HTTP(S) vs SOCKS4/5

They have tools to speculate on the type of ip address (residential/mobile/etc). If they assume it's mobile, their rules related to ip rotation for exemple will be way more flexible.

SOCKS proxies can be better for social media bots since they don’t modify request headers, which may lead to a higher trust score and reduced detection risk. They’re versatile and handle various traffic types. However, HTTP(S) proxies can be more efficient for web scraping due to their optimization for web traffic. Choose based on your specific needs and the importance of maintaining original request integrity.
