# 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**](https://developers.oxylabs.io/proxies/mobile-proxies) 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 %}

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).
