+### SOCKS5 proxy support (Beta)
+
+SOCKS (Socket Secure) is a protocol that facilitates the routing of network packets between a client and a server through a proxy server. It provides a way to enhance privacy, security, and network performance for users and applications.
+
+With Docker Desktop 4.28 and later, you can enable SOCKS proxy support to allow outgoing requests, such as pulling images, and access Linux container backend IPs from the host. 
+
+To enable and set up SOCKS proxy support:
+
+1. Navigate to **Settings** in Docker Desktop. 
+2. Go to **Features in development** and then on the **Beta** tab check the **Enable SOCKS proxy support** option. 
+3. Select **Apply & restart**.
+4. Go to the **Resources** tab and from the dropdown menu select **Proxies**
+5. Switch on the **Manual proxy configuration** toggle. 
+6. In the **Secure Web Server HTTPS** box, paste your `socks5://host:port` URL.
