Synopsis

  • UDP port 1080 is used by SOCKS5 proxies for the protocol’s UDP ASSOCIATE relay.
  • The Dante SOCKS server (Inferno Nettverk) can be configured to listen on UDP/1080 to relay client UDP traffic.
  • SS5 (SOCKS5 server from SourceForge) implements UDP support and can run its UDP relay on port 1080.
  • Client-side proxy tools such as V2Ray/Xray, Clash, and Shadowsocks (ss-local with the -u option) often expose a local SOCKS5 endpoint on 127.0.0.1:1080 and accept UDP on that same port for applications needing UDP (e.g., DNS or game traffic).
  • Attackers frequently scan for open SOCKS proxies on 1080 (including UDP) and abuse misconfigured instances to relay malicious traffic or pivot during intrusions.
