Thanks for your reply but it seems this proxy it's only http proxy. I read that Socks5 proxy are not directly provided by PHP but implementable with some libraries. So a modification of the PHPCrawl is needed to implement socks5 proxy

since cURL 7.21.7, you can use CURLOPT_PROXY and specify the SOCKS protocol:
$crawler->setProxy("socks5://x.x.x.x", 1080);

This don't run for me, i have curl 7.47 but if i try this into my code raise me this error : Unable to connect to proxy 'socks5://127.0.0.1' on port '1080'.

The crawler don't use curl, the function setProxy recall this function: stream_socket_client($this->proxy["proxy_host"].":".$this->proxy["proxy_port"], $error_code, $error_str,$this->socketConnectTimeout, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT);
i try to exec this with socks5 but the error is: “unable to connect to socks5://127.0.0.1:1080 (Unable to find the socket transport "socks5" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?)”

Have you tried hitting the proxy outside of phpcrawl?

$url = "https://google.com";
$proxy = "127.0.0.1:1080";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_SOCKS5);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
