how to connect proxy server in mobile
Connecting a proxy server on a mobile device depends on your operating system. Here’s how to do it on Android and iPhone (iOS):
✅ For Android:
- Open Settings
- Go to Wi-Fi
- Tap on the Wi-Fi network you are connected to (hold or click the gear icon).
- Tap Modify network
- Tap Advanced options
- Under Proxy, select Manual
- Enter the Proxy hostname and Port
- Tap Save
⚠️ Note: This only applies to that specific Wi-Fi network. Mobile data requires root or third-party apps.
✅ For iPhone (iOS):
- Open Settings
- Go to Wi-Fi
- Tap the (i) icon next to the Wi-Fi you’re connected to
- Scroll down to HTTP Proxy
- Select Manual
- Enter Server (IP or hostname) and Port
- (Optional) Add a Username and Password if needed
- Go back – the settings save automatically
⚠️ Note: Like Android, iOS only allows proxy settings over Wi-Fi, not mobile data.
🔧 Using a Proxy Over Mobile Data (3G/4G/5G):
To use a proxy for mobile data:
- VPN-based apps that support proxies (e.g., Shadowsocks, ProxyDroid for rooted Android)
- Third-party browsers with proxy support (e.g., Opera, Tor)
- Proxy-enabled apps that allow you to configure SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy internally
Let me know what type of proxy (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5) you’re using or if you want help with a specific app.
