What's the Best Way to Set Up an Android Proxy for Secure Browsing? or How Do I Use an Android Proxy

Hey! Had this issue too. Double-check if your proxy server allows anonymous connections—some require auth and just timeout if you don’t provide credentials.

For apps, I’ve had good luck with Postern (kinda technical but solid).

Also, maybe your ISP is blocking proxy ports? Try port 8080 or 443 instead of the usual ones.
