I don't have the same focus or interest as you, but I try to learn from 
exploring some of the aspects of 'where you are going'.

The subject of socks5 vs VPN is interesting. Surprisingly a service that 
sells socks5 service has a pretty good discussion and seems 'balanced' 
rather than biased for socks5.

Then, one can turn to various other sources to try to learn about free 
socks5 vs paid socks5. Those sources seem to say that 'generally' there 
is a great deal of diff.

You tend to prioritize the 'free' aspect of things, and I can 
'sympathize' w/ that because I'm of a very frugal nature myself, and 
even MORE importantly, the complexity of being able to pay for some 
anonymous persona w/ anonymous connectivity is another level of privacy 
than just seeking out those avenues which do not require any 
'registration' type identity which comes along w/ non-free.

In any case, while you have your 'free' characteristic turned on high, I 
believe you have to balance that w/ a significant degree of skepticism. 
Some people are excessively skeptical of anything free; but I don't 
think excess is a good thing.

You have to go elsewhere to find out 'what's wrong w/ free socks5'.
