Good afternoon, dear readers. Today we will figure out how to set up a proxy on Android, what they are for and where to buy IP addresses. Screenshots are attached to each step of the instruction for clarity.
We showed the IP connection using the Samsung Galaxy A41 as an example. If you have a different model, then the algorithm may be slightly different, but the essence is the same.
Instruction
To set up a proxy server on Android, follow the instructions below.
- Open settings and select "Connections".
- Click "Wi-Fi".
- Tap on the gear icon next to the network.
- Click "Advanced".
- In the item with the proxy, tap "No".
- Select the "Manual" setting.
- Enter the IP, port, username and password of the proxy.
Then click "Save". Ready.
Setting up a proxy using apps
This method is relevant for all Andriod version phones, as it involves installing additional applications that are available on PlayMarket for free.
ProxyDroid
The application works correctly only for users with root rights. Otherwise, it will constantly remind you that superuser rights are needed.
Open the application and select "Address" from the list
In the window that appears, enter the IP from the purchased proxy.
We do the same with the "Port" field.
Click on the inscription "Type of proxy server" and in the list that appears, select the appropriate option (most often it is HTTPS, or SOCKS5)
Scroll down the screen until you find the inscription "Enable authorization", where you need to check the box.
After that, additional blocks open in which you need to enter data from the proxy.
Click on the inscription "User" and enter the name of the proxy server in the window that appears.
Do the same with the "Password" item.
After that, scroll up the list and check the box "Change proxy state". If you do not have root rights, then after completing the procedure, all data blocks will not be editable.
Drony
This application works already without root rights. The only negative is that the translation into Russian is slightly incorrect. But with our instructions, this will not bother you in any way. So let's get started.
Open the app. At the very beginning, you will be transferred to the "Journaling" block. Swipe right to go to settings.
In the window that appears, select "Other networks".
Next, you need to enter the proxy address. To do this, click on the inscription "Proxy name" and enter the IP.
Enter the port in the corresponding field.
In the "Username" field, you need to enter the login from the proxy.
Enter the server password in the same way.
Click on the inscription "Proxy type", which is located below. And in the list that appears, select the desired option.
Swipe left to return to the original screen. And click the "Enable" button.
The following picture will appear on the screen.
Regardless of the method chosen, setting up a proxy on Android is quite simple. But a more universal option are applications that work the same for almost all versions of Android.
Why do you need a proxy on your phone
Thanks to a proxy on a smartphone, users bypass blocking sites.
How it works. When you connect an intermediate server, your real IP address is replaced with the address of the connected proxy. The system of the forbidden web resource does not recognize the real IP, therefore it lets the user through, he calmly visits the site.
Similarly, you can access resources that are only available in one country. For example, a resident of Russia decided to use the BBC iPlayer service, and it is only allowed in the UK. The solution is as follows: the user bought a British IP address and connected it. Now the BBC iPlayer system will not see that the user is from Russia. She will think that the user is from the UK.
