Written by ilya

Mobile Data:
1. Navigate to Settings > Network & internet > Internet.

2. Tap your mobile network provider’s settings, scroll to the bottom, and select Access Point Names (APNs).

3. Choose an APN you’re currently using to configure the Android proxy settings.

4. Under Proxy, Port, Username, and Password, enter your proxy details and credentials

Before you start: Android's built-in Wi-Fi proxy settings only accept a hostname and port — there's no field for a username or password. If your proxy uses username/password authentication (the default), this method won't be able to log in. You have two options:

  • Authorize your device's IP in your dashboard (Account → Proxy Authorization → Add IP) so no login is needed, or

  • Use an app like FoxyProxy or Super Proxy instead, which does support entering a username and password.

If you're not sure which authentication method you're on, check your proxy list in the dashboard — proxies listed as IP:Port only are IP-authorized; proxies listed as IP:Port:Username:Password need one of the two options above for native Wi-Fi setup.

WiFi:

1. Open your Android’s Settings.

2. Tap Wi-Fi.

3. Tap and hold the Wi-Fi Network Name.

4. Select Modify Network.

5. Click Advanced Options.

6. Tap Manual.

7. Change your proxy's settings. Enter the hostname and your assigned port — you'll find both listed next to each proxy in your dashboard.

8. Tap Save.
