What is Just My Socks

Just My Socks is a Shadowsocks / V2Ray proxy service launched by BandwagonHost. The service includes multiple routes, including CN2 GIA routes, and an unavailable IP may be replaced with an available one.

It is intended for people who want a ready-to-use proxy service instead of building and maintaining a VPS. Common use cases include web browsing, YouTube, Google, and Google Scholar.

Is Just My Socks reliable

The service is part of the BandwagonHost ecosystem and provides multiple routes. Current speed and availability depend on the plan, server, carrier, and region.

Who is it for

For web access, research, and common streaming use, a managed service can be simpler than building a VPS. Just My Socks may not be suitable for Netflix or other services with strict regional detection.

  • Just My Socks 100 primarily supports TCP for web browsing and common streaming.
  • Plans from Just My Socks 500 support TCP and UDP.
