Android is the most widely used mobile operating system. You can configure HypeProxy.io proxies on Android for mobile browsing and app traffic.

Wi-Fi Proxy Setup

  1. Open SettingsWi-Fi (or Network & InternetWi-Fi).
  2. Tap the gear icon next to your connected network (or long-press → Modify network).
  3. Expand Advanced options.
  4. Under Proxy, select Manual.
  5. Enter your proxy details:
    • Proxy hostname: Your HypeProxy.io proxy host (e.g., fr.hypeproxy.host)
    • Proxy port: Your assigned port number
  6. Tap Save.

Android will prompt for authentication when you first browse through the proxy.

Using a Proxy App

For SOCKS5 support or to proxy all traffic (including cellular data), use an app like Drony:

  1. Install Drony from the Play Store.
  2. Open the app and go to Settings.
  3. Select your Wi-Fi network and tap Proxy type.
  4. Choose Manual and enter:
    • Hostname: Your proxy host
    • Port: Your proxy port
    • Username/Password: Your proxy credentials
  5. Enable the proxy — Drony creates a local VPN to route traffic.

Important Notes

  • Built-in proxy settings only work on Wi-Fi connections, not cellular data.
  • Some apps may bypass the system proxy. Use a VPN-based proxy app for complete coverage.
  • For SOCKS5 protocol, you must use a third-party app — Android's native settings only support HTTP/HTTPS proxies.
