UDP Protocol Support

Evomi Residential Proxies offer comprehensive UDP protocol support for enterprise clients requiring full network protocol coverage. This premium enterprise-exclusive feature enables UDP traffic routing through our residential network infrastructure.

Understanding UDP Support

Unlike our HTTP3/QUIC feature (which provides UDP-based HTTP/3 only), full UDP support enables routing of any UDP-based protocol through residential proxies. This includes custom applications, gaming protocols, VoIP traffic, DNS queries, and specialized enterprise networking tools.

Enterprise Use Cases

• Network Protocol Testing: Test UDP-based applications across diverse residential networks
• Gaming Infrastructure: Route gaming traffic through residential IPs for testing
• VoIP Services: Test voice communication systems from residential connections
• Custom Applications: Support proprietary UDP protocols in enterprise environments
• Network Security Research: Analyze UDP traffic patterns and behaviors
• IoT Device Simulation: Test UDP-enabled devices from residential network contexts

Activation Process

1. Contact Enterprise Support: Reach out to your enterprise account manager or support team
2. Account Verification: Confirm your enterprise account status and use case requirements
3. Manual Enablement: Our technical team will manually activate UDP support for your account
4. Configuration Confirmation: Receive confirmation and implementation guidelines

Implementation

Once activated by our support team, append _udp-1 to your proxy password to enable full UDP protocol support. Use the SOCKS5 protocol:

socks5://testuser:[email protected]:1000

Examples

# Note: CURL primarily supports HTTP/HTTPS, but UDP can be tested with custom tools
# Using SOCKS5 protocol
curl --socks5 rp.evomi.com:1000 -U testuser:testpassword_udp-1 https://ip.evomi.com/s

# Combined with geographic targeting
curl --socks5 rp.evomi.com:1000 -U testuser:testpassword_country-US_udp-1 https://ip.evomi.com/s

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPProxyAuth

# For HTTP traffic through UDP-enabled proxy
proxies = {
"http": "socks5://rp.evomi.com:1000",
"https": "socks5://rp.evomi.com:1000"
}
auth = HTTPProxyAuth("testuser", "testpassword_udp-1")
response = requests.get("https://ip.evomi.com/s", proxies=proxies, auth=auth)
print(response.text)

# For custom UDP applications, use appropriate UDP libraries with SOCKS5 support

const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const { SocksProxyAgent } = require('socks-proxy-agent');

// For HTTP traffic through UDP-enabled proxy
const proxyUrl = 'socks5://testuser:[email protected]:1000';
const agent = new SocksProxyAgent(proxyUrl);
const url = 'https://ip.evomi.com/s';

fetch(url, { agent })
.then(res => res.text())
.then(body => console.log(body));

// For custom UDP applications, use Node.js dgram module with SOCKS5 support

Technical Specifications
