Yo, anyone else here using socksdroid? I’ve been messing with it for a couple weeks now, and honestly, it’s been a mixed bag. Like, it’s super handy for bypassing geo-blocks and all, but sometimes it just *refuses* to connect?? Idk if it’s just me or what.

Also, the setup was kinda confusing at first—had to Google a bunch of stuff to get it working. But once it’s up, it’s pretty smooth for streaming and stuff.

Anyone else having random disconnects or is it just my luck? Also, any tips to make it more stable? Cuz I’m lowkey tired of restarting it every hour lol.

Overall, socksdroid’s decent, but def not perfect. Curious to hear how y’all are finding it!
Yo, I feel you on the random disconnects with socksdroid. Happens to me too, especially when I’m switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data.

I found that using a VPN alongside socksdroid helps a lot with stability. I use Surfshark, and it’s been a game-changer. Maybe give that a shot? Also, make sure your socksdroid config is up to date—sometimes outdated settings mess with the connection.

For setup tips, I followed this guide: [insert link]. It’s super detailed and saved me a ton of time.
Hey! I’ve been using socksdroid for a while now, and yeah, the disconnects are annoying af. But I noticed it works way better if you tweak the timeout settings in the config file.

Also, try using a different proxy server. Some servers are just trash and cause more issues than they solve. I use this site to find reliable ones: [insert link].

Overall, socksdroid is solid for streaming, but it def needs some fine-tuning. Hope this helps!
Bro, same issue here. Socksdroid just randomly drops the connection, and it’s so frustrating. I switched to using a different app called ProxyDroid for a bit, and it’s way more stable.

But if you wanna stick with socksdroid, try clearing the cache and restarting your phone. Sometimes that fixes the random disconnects. Also, make sure your phone’s battery optimization isn’t killing the app in the background.
Honestly, socksdroid is hit or miss for me too. The setup was a pain, but once I got it working, it’s been decent.

For the disconnects, I found that using a static IP instead of DHCP on my Wi-Fi helped a lot. Also, try lowering the MTU size in your network settings—it’s a weird fix, but it worked for me.

If you’re still struggling, maybe check out this forum thread: [insert link]. Lots of good tips there.
Socksdroid is great for bypassing geo-blocks, but yeah, the random disconnects are a headache. I’ve been using it with a custom DNS (Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1), and it’s been way more stable.

Also, make sure you’re using the latest version of socksdroid. The devs fixed a bunch of bugs in the recent update.

If you’re still having issues, maybe try a different app like HTTP Injector. It’s a bit more complicated, but it’s way more reliable.
Yo, thanks for all the tips, y’all! I tried tweaking the timeout settings and switched to a static IP, and it’s been way more stable. Still get the occasional disconnect, but it’s not as bad as before.

Also, that YouTube tutorial was a lifesaver—way easier than the guides I found on Google.

One last question though: anyone know if socksdroid works better on rooted devices? I’m thinking about rooting my phone, but idk if it’s worth the hassle.
I’ve been using socksdroid for months, and it’s been mostly smooth for me. The key is to use a good proxy list and avoid free ones—they’re usually trash.

For setup, I followed this YouTube tutorial: [insert link]. It’s super easy to follow, even if you’re not tech-savvy.

As for the disconnects, try using a different port. Sometimes the default port gets overloaded, and switching to a less common one helps.
