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 Residential Proxies for a mobile network using mobile data or 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:

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.

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

Step 6. Restart the network to apply your changes by turning the connection off and on again.

Step 7. Finally, open your web browser, enter previously specified credentials, and press Sign in.

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

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.
