# `--socks4`
2023-12-11 20:30:44 -05:00
Use the specified SOCKS4 proxy. If the port number is not specified, it is
2024-05-15 15:20:32 -04:00
assumed at port 1080. Using this socket type make curl resolve the hostname
2023-12-11 20:30:44 -05:00
and passing the address on to the proxy.
To specify proxy on a unix domain socket, use localhost for host, e.g.
2024-05-15 15:20:32 -04:00
`socks4://localhost/path/to/socket.sock`
2023-12-11 20:30:44 -05:00
This option overrides any previous use of --proxy, as they are mutually
exclusive.
This option is superfluous since you can specify a socks4 proxy with --proxy
using a socks4:// protocol prefix. (Added in 7.21.7)
--preproxy can be used to specify a SOCKS proxy at the same time proxy is used
with an HTTP/HTTPS proxy (added in 7.52.0). In such a case, curl first
connects to the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or
HTTPS proxy.
