Hey everyone!
So, I’ve been trying to figure out how to android set proxy on my phone, and honestly, it’s been a bit of a headache. 😅 I finally got it working, so thought I’d share the steps in case anyone else is stuck.
1. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
2. Long-press your connected network and tap Modify Network.
3. Scroll to Advanced Options, then select Proxy > Manual.
4. Enter the proxy hostname and port. Save it, and you’re good to go!
But uh, sometimes it just doesn’t work? Like, the proxy won’t connect or something. If that happens, double-check the details or try restarting your phone. Also, some apps might ignore the proxy, so keep that in mind.
Anyway, hope this helps! If you’ve got tips or ran into issues, drop a comment. Cheers! ✌️
Thanks for sharing this! I was struggling with android set proxy too, and your steps worked like a charm.
One thing I noticed is that some apps like YouTube or Chrome don’t always respect the proxy settings. For those, I use a VPN app instead. It’s way easier to manage and works globally. If anyone’s interested, I recommend checking out apps like ProtonVPN or Windscribe. They’re free and super reliable.
Also, if the proxy isn’t connecting, try switching to a different network or using a public proxy list like https://spys.one/. Sometimes the issue is with the proxy itself, not your settings.
Yo, great guide! I’ve been trying to android set proxy for ages, and this finally worked.
But yeah, like you said, some apps just ignore it. I found that using an app like ProxyDroid helps force all traffic through the proxy, even for stubborn apps. It’s a bit technical, but worth it if you’re serious about using a proxy.
Also, if you’re still having issues, make sure your phone’s date and time are correct. Sounds weird, but it messed me up once.
Hey, thanks for the tips! I was able to android set proxy using your steps, but I ran into a weird issue where my phone kept disconnecting from the Wi-Fi after setting it up.
Turns out, it was a DNS issue. I switched to Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) in the same network settings, and it fixed everything. Maybe that’ll help someone else too.
Also, for anyone looking for a good proxy, I’ve had success with https://www.proxysite.com/. It’s free and pretty fast.
Nice guide! I’ve been trying to android set proxy for a while, and this was super helpful.
One thing I’d add is that if you’re using a paid proxy, make sure it supports HTTPS. Some proxies only work with HTTP, and that can cause issues with modern apps.
Also, if you’re still stuck, try clearing your phone’s cache. Sometimes old settings get stuck, and that can mess things up.
Thanks for sharing! I followed your steps to android set proxy, and it worked perfectly.
But I noticed that some apps still bypass the proxy, especially games. For those, I use a VPN instead. It’s not exactly the same, but it gets the job done.
If anyone’s looking for a good VPN, I’d recommend NordVPN or Surfshark. They’re not free, but they’re worth it if you need consistent performance.
Wow, thanks for all the tips, everyone! I didn’t expect so many helpful replies.
I tried switching to Google’s DNS like someone suggested, and it fixed the weird disconnection issue I was having. Also, I checked out ProxyDroid, and it’s a game-changer for forcing apps to use the proxy.
One quick question though—has anyone tried using a proxy with mobile data instead of Wi-Fi? I’m curious if the steps are different or if it’s even possible. Let me know! Cheers! ✌️
Hey, great post! I’ve been trying to android set proxy for a while, and this was super helpful.
One thing I’d add is that if you’re using a public proxy, make sure it’s not blocked by your ISP. Some ISPs block certain proxies, and that can cause connection issues.
Also, if you’re still having trouble, try using a different browser like Firefox. It has built-in proxy settings that are easier to manage than the system-wide ones.
