GSS-API authentication – Both you and the server use authentication methods at the operating system level to verify your identity.Username/password authentication – You need to provide login details to connect to a proxy.Null authentication – No authentication required to connect to a proxy.SOCKS5 has enhanced security and offers three types of authentication methods: A SOCKS5 proxy allows you to hide your IP address from online services.
