Why Test Your Proxy?

  • Verify if the proxy is working: Make sure your connection goes through the proxy server.

  • Check your IP address: See if your public IP has changed to the proxy server’s IP.

  • Troubleshoot issues: Solve any connection problems related to the proxy.

Through Wi-Fi Settings

  1. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.

  2. Long-press on your connected network, then tap Modify Network.

  3. Scroll down to Proxy Settings and select Manual.

  4. Enter the proxy IP and port.

    Note: Be sure to enter the IP address of the proxy server, not a URL.

  5. Open a browser and visit https://whatismyip.com to check if your IP has changed.


Troubleshooting Common Proxy Issues

  • Incorrect proxy details: Double-check the IP, port, username, and password.

  • Proxy not responding: Try a different site to confirm if the issue is with the proxy or the site.

  • Proxy not showing in browser: Clear your browser cache and try again.

Testing a proxy on different devices is simple and quick. By following these steps, you can confirm that your proxy is working and that your internet traffic is securely routed.
