✓ import socks

✗ import socks; socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.SOCKS5, 'host', port)

Demonstrates monkey-patching socket to route all traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy.

import socks import socket socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.SOCKS5, 'localhost', 9050) socket.socket = socks.socksocket s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect(('httpbin.org', 80)) s.sendall(b'GET /ip HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: httpbin.org\r\n\r\n') print(s.recv(4096).decode()) s.close()

Debug

Known issues

gotchaMonkey-patching socket.socket affects entire Python process; avoid in production or use per-connection approach.

fix

Use socks.socksocket directly for individual sockets instead of setting socket.socket

affects: all

deprecatedThe original 'socks' package on PyPI (version 0) is a stub that does nothing; use 'PySocks' instead.

fix

pip install PySocks and import socks; uninstall the stub package: pip uninstall socks

affects: any

gotchaPySocks does not support authentication for SOCKS4; only SOCKS5 supports username/password.

fix

Use SOCKS5 proxy type if authentication is needed.

affects: all
