# Android

Android is an open-source and Linux-based operating system for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.

Use these guides below to configure your [**Mobile Proxies**](/proxies/mobile-proxies.md) for a mobile network [**using mobile data**](#using-mobile-data) or [**a Wi-Fi network**](#setting-up-a-proxy-for-a-wi-fi-network).

### Using mobile data

**Step 1.** Navigate to **Settings** > **Network & internet** > **Internet**.

**Step 2.** Tap your mobile network provider’s settings, scroll to the bottom, and select **Access Point Names (APNs)**.

**Step 3.** Choose an **APN** you’re currently using to configure the Android proxy settings.

**Step 4.** Fill in the setup fields as specified below:

{% hint style="info" %}
When using proxies for a mobile network, the connection type can be `HTTP` only.
{% endhint %}

**Proxy:** `pr.oxylabs.io`

**Port:** `7777`

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also use random or sticky country-specific entries. For example, if you enter `us-pr.oxylabs.io` under **Proxy** and `10000` under **Port**, you’ll acquire a US exit node. If you enter `10001` under **Port**, you’ll receive the US exit node with a sticky session. You can find a complete list of country-specific random proxy entry nodes [**here**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/residential-proxies/country-specific-entry-nodes#random-proxy-entry-nodes) and a list of sticky proxy entry nodes - [**here**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/residential-proxies/country-specific-entry-nodes#sticky-proxy-entry-nodes).
{% endhint %}

**Username**: `Oxylabs sub-user's username`

**Password:** `Oxylabs sub-user's password`

{% hint style="info" %}
You can create and manage your proxy sub-users in our [**dashboard**](https://dashboard.oxylabs.io/en/)**.**
{% endhint %}

**Step 5.** Tap three vertical dots in the top right corner and choose **Save**.

That’s it! You’re now using a mobile network with a proxy IP address.

### Using a Wi-Fi network <a href="#setting-up-a-proxy-for-a-wi-fi-network" id="setting-up-a-proxy-for-a-wi-fi-network"></a>

**Step 1.** Navigate to **Settings** > **Network & internet** > **Internet**.

**Step 2.** Choose your current Wi-Fi network and select the setting icon to access **Network details**.

**Step 3.** Tap the edit button in the top right corner and expand the **Advanced options** section to configure the Android proxy settings.

**Step 4.** Under **Proxy,** select **Manual** and enter your proxy details along with the credentials:

{% hint style="info" %}
When using proxies for a mobile network, the connection type can be `HTTP` only.
{% endhint %}

**Proxy hostname:** `pr.oxylabs.io`

**Proxy port:** `7777`

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also use random or sticky country-specific entries. For example, if you enter `us-pr.oxylabs.io` under **Proxy hostname** and `10000` under **Proxy port**, you’ll acquire a US exit node. If you enter `10001` under **Proxy port**, you’ll receive the US exit node with a sticky session. You can find a complete list of country-specific random proxy entry nodes [**here**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/residential-proxies/country-specific-entry-nodes#random-proxy-entry-nodes) and a list of sticky proxy entry nodes - [**here**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/residential-proxies/country-specific-entry-nodes#sticky-proxy-entry-nodes).
{% endhint %}

**Username**: `Oxylabs sub-user's username`

**Password:** `Oxylabs sub-user's password`

{% hint style="info" %}
You can create and manage your proxy sub-users in our [**dashboard**](https://dashboard.oxylabs.io/en/)**.**
{% endhint %}

**Step 5.** Finally, open your web browser, enter previously specified credentials, and press **Sign in**.

That’s it! You’re now using a Wi-Fi network with a proxy IP address.
