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 for a mobile network using mobile data or a Wi-Fi network.
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:
When using proxies for a mobile network, the connection type can be HTTP only.
Proxy: pr.oxylabs.io
Port: 7777
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 and a list of sticky proxy entry nodes - here.
Username: Oxylabs sub-user's username
Password: Oxylabs sub-user's password
You can create and manage your proxy sub-users in our dashboard.
