and like Yii2 talks about authorization via username and password https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-sphinx#configuration

Answer 1

Sphinx is not put on shared hosting.
If your project required its use, then you have at least grown up to use VPS.
The description is about sockets, you can not listen on the IP port, but work only through it.
You can also specify a protocol handler (listener) to be used for connections on this socket. Supported protocol values ​​are 'sphinx' (Sphinx 0.9.x API protocol) and 'mysql41' (MySQL protocol used since 4.1 upto at least 5.1). More details on MySQL protocol support can be found in Section 5.10, “MySQL protocol support and SphinxQL” section. Starting with version 2.3.2-beta a HTTP protocol is added using protocol value 'http', available only with 'thread_pool' workers.
Through the socket it also works faster.
