To configure and use a SOCKS5 proxy on an Android device, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Get the details of the SOCKS5 proxy server
First, you need to obtain the details of the SOCKS5 proxy server you want to use, including the proxy server's IP address, port number, and authentication credentials (if required).
Step 2: Open your Android device's network settings
On your Android device, open the Settings app and go to the Wi-Fi & networks (may also be called Wireless & networks) menu.
Step 3: Select Wi-Fi Network
In the Network settings menu, find and select the Wi-Fi network you're currently connected to. You may need to long-press the network name or tap the three dots in the menu to select it.
Step 4: Configure proxy settings
On the Wi-Fi network details page, you will see a "Proxy" or "Advanced options" menu. Select it to access the proxy settings.
Step 5: Select Manual Proxy Configuration
In the Proxy Settings menu, select the Manual proxy configuration option. This will allow you to manually enter the proxy server details.
Step 6: Enter the SOCKS5 proxy server details
Based on the SOCKS5 proxy server details you obtained, enter the following:
– Proxy Server: Enter the IP address of the proxy server.
– Port: Enter the port number of the proxy server.
– Username and Password: If the proxy server requires authentication, enter your username and password.
Step 7: Save settings and test proxy connection
After completing the above configuration, save the settings and return to the Wi-Fi network details page. Now, your Android device will use the configured SOCKS5 proxy.
To test if the proxy connection is working properly, you can try to open a web page in your browser or access the internet using an app that supports Android SOCKS5 proxy. If everything is working properly, your web traffic will be routed through the proxy server.
Please note that there may be some interface differences between different versions and manufacturers of Android devices, so the names and locations of some steps may vary. However, the basic concepts and steps should be similar.
