Using Cliproxy on Android
Android provides a way to configure a proxy through Wi-Fi settings, which can be used to configure a proxy for a specific network.
Configure HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy (Wi-Fi network)
Connect to a Wi-Fi network**:
Open the device's Settings.
Go to Wi-Fi settings and select the Wi-Fi network for which you want to configure a proxy.
Configure a proxy:
In Wi-Fi network settings, tap Connected network (network name).
Tap Modify network or Advanced settings (the specific options vary depending on the Android version).
Enable Proxy settings, which usually have three options:
None: Do not use a proxy (default).
Manual: Manually configure the proxy server.
Automatic: Set via the automatic proxy configuration file (PAC).
Enter proxy details:
If you selected Manual, enter the IP address and port of the proxy server (for example, SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy).
For a SOCKS5 proxy, make sure SOCKS5 is selected in Proxy type.
If the proxy requires authentication, enter the proxy username and password.
Save settings:
When you are finished, tap Save and the network connection will forward traffic through the specified proxy server.
Notes on configuring proxies:
In Android, only networks connected via Wi-Fi can be configured with proxies. Mobile data connections (such as 4G or 5G) generally do not have proxies configured directly in system settings.
Some Android apps (such as browsers or other apps) may provide independent proxy settings.
