For Facebook, the protocol (SOCKS5 or HTTP) matters less than the trust level of the IP. That said, SOCKS5 is typically preferred for better handling of full traffic and fewer leaks. But even a clean SOCKS5 proxy won’t help if the IP is datacenter-based or flagged. This is where mobile proxies have the edge,they offer rotating, carrier-grade IPs that are seen as real users by Facebook’s systems. If safety is your priority, mobile proxies are the smarter bet regardless of protocol.
 
nords vpn can hold fb stronger please were do i get good source for smtp and webmail
 
Choose SOCKS5 if you are serious about your work, need anonymity and stability with Facebook.
HTTP Proxy is only suitable if you do simple manual work and do not need multiple accounts.
I am also using SOCKS5 to keep my Facebook profile on ADS Power
 
Residential SOCKS5 proxies are generally safer. They offer better anonymity and are less likely to get flagged. HTTP can work too, but SOCKS5 gives more flexibility, especially for account management and automation.
 
For Facebook, socks5 proxy is better than http because it provides more secure and private connection. SOCKS5 is recommended for accessing social media websites like Facebook.
 
Go with residential proxies if you're managing Facebook accounts — they're safer and look like real users. If you're doing high-risk stuff like automation or ads at scale, mobile proxies are even better (but pricey). and use just one per account

Every proxy has its own good points. As long as the source provides clean ip, it will always be fine for advertising.

Honestly, this whole HTTP vs. SOCKS5 debate for Facebook is a bit of a distraction and causes more confusion.

Think of it this way, Facebook doesn't really care how you connect to the proxy, it cares what the proxy's IP address looks like. Is it from a sketchy DC server farm, or does it look like a real person at home? And we offer both btw, so feel free to DM us if you want to check your options, but really, it's the latter that works best obviously.

For just browsing Facebook, a simple HTTP proxy is all you need. It’s straightforward and gets the job done.

The thing to prioritize to keeping your account safe is using a Static Residential Proxy (ISP). Static means your IP address stays the same (non-rotating), so you look like you're always logging in from the same trusted location, and residential means the IP comes from a real home internet provider, not a datacenter that screams BOT!!
 
For Facebook, the IP's trust level is more important than the protocol (SOCKS5 or HTTP). SOCKS5 is better for traffic, but won't help if the IP is flagged. Mobile proxies are superior, offering real-user IPs, making them the safer choice.
 
SOCKS5 is better for Facebook if you: need high anonymity, use automation software . If you only access Facebook manually via browser and don't need special features, HTTP proxy is enough.
 
What is more important is the proxy IP address, with Facebook you can use HTTP proxy it is simple and easy to get the job done, better for your advertising.
 
Both can work, but it really depends on your setup and use case.
- SOCKS5 gives more flexibility (especially for tools like antidetect browsers) and usually supports more traffic types.
- HTTP/HTTPS proxies are simpler and fine for basic browsing or account logins, but less stable for automation-heavy tasks.
 
I’ve used both, and honestly the protocol isnt the issue it the IP reputation that matters more. SOCKS5 gives more control and tends to be more stable for tools like SuSocial. Recently tried Netproxy.io mobile proxies and saw way fewer checkpoints when logging into fresh FB accounts. Anyone else here using their pool. Curious how they perform long term.
 
For Facebook, SOCKS5 is generally considered safer than HTTP—mainly because it handles traffic at a lower level and leaks less metadata. But what really matters is the quality of the proxy: clean IP, residential or mobile, and low usage history. Even a good SOCKS5 won't help if it's flagged
