WeProxy Proxy Setup For Android

Android’s built-in proxy setting is specific to a Wi-Fi network. It does not automatically apply to mobile data, and menu names can vary by device manufacturer. Use the steps below to assign your WeProxy connection to a Wi-Fi network.

Before You Start

From the WeProxy customer panel, get the proxy host and port. On most devices, Android’s built-in Wi-Fi screen only shows host, port, and bypass list fields; it may not offer separate username and password fields.

Setting a Manual Proxy on Android

1. Open Settings > Network & internet > Internet.
2. Tap the Wi-Fi network you are connected to.
3. Select the Edit icon. On some devices you need to press and hold the network name and choose Modify network.
4. Open Advanced options.
5. From the Proxy menu, select Manual.
6. Enter the WeProxy host in Proxy hostname.
7. Enter the WeProxy port in Proxy port.
8. Add an optional bypass list and tap Save.

Using the Proxy on Mobile Data

The proxy you add in Android settings only works on that Wi-Fi network. To use it on mobile data as well, you need an app that runs the proxy like a VPN. Super Proxy on Google Play (free, with in-app purchases) does this. Postern, which is often suggested for the same job, is no longer listed on Google Play (checked in October 2026); we do not recommend installing it from APK sites.

Example values. Once started, all phone traffic goes through the proxy on Wi‑Fi and mobile data.

1. Install the app from Google Play and add a new proxy.
2. Choose the proxy type: HTTP or SOCKS5, whichever your WeProxy product uses (marker 1).
3. Enter the WeProxy host as the server and the port from the panel (marker 2).
4. Enter your username and password (marker 3).
5. Save and start the connection (marker 4). When Android asks to allow a VPN connection, confirm it.

Once connected, the app routes all of the phone's traffic through the proxy on both Wi-Fi and mobile data. You do not need the Wi-Fi proxy setting at the same time.

Proxies That Require Username and Password

If Android’s Wi-Fi settings screen has no username and password fields, the browser may show an authentication prompt on the first connection. Not every app supports that prompt. If a connection cannot be established, consider these options:

• If your WeProxy product supports it, add your current internet IP to the allow list.
• Use a trusted app that supports authenticated proxies.
• Ask WeProxy support which authentication methods are available for your product.

Do not share your credentials with unverified third-party apps.

Verifying the Connection

In Chrome or your browser, open the WeProxy IP check tool. If the IP did not change, turn the Wi-Fi network off and on, or forget the network and reconnect.

Common Issues When Setting Up Android Proxy

The proxy does not work on mobile data

Android’s manual proxy setting applies to the Wi-Fi network you selected. The same manual fields may not be available for mobile data traffic. To use the proxy on mobile data, see Using the Proxy on Mobile Data above.

Some apps connect directly

Not all Android apps are required to follow the system proxy setting. If an app has no proxy support of its own, traffic may go out directly.

Wi-Fi is connected but there is no internet

Check the host, port, and package status. If the proxy requires authentication, the app may not support it.

Turning Off the Proxy on Android

Open the same Wi-Fi network’s Edit > Advanced options > Proxy section. Choose None and save the setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the proxy not work on mobile data?

Android stores the manual proxy setting per Wi-Fi network, and there is no such field for mobile data. A proxy app that works like a VPN, such as Super Proxy, sends the traffic through the proxy on mobile data too.

Should I choose HTTP or SOCKS5 in the app?

Use the type your WeProxy product shows in the panel. Both work in the app; SOCKS5 also carries non-web traffic.
