Setting up a proxy in Tun2Socks app for Android

Tun2Socks is designed to route all device traffic through a proxy server, enhancing connection security and bypassing geo-restrictions. The application features a straightforward interface, making proxy setup simple. It enables the configuration of a private proxy by entering authorization data, an option not available in standard Android system settings. Tun2Socks also offers the convenience of toggling the proxy on or off with a single click. In the following sections, we will explore the detailed process of integrating a proxy server into this application.

Step-by-step proxy setup in Tun2Socks

Tun2Socks operates exclusively with a Socks5 connection. To integrate a proxy server into the application, follow these steps:

1. Launch the application and input the IP address and port of the proxy server in the main menu.

   

2. For a private proxy server, enable the “Enable Authentication” checkbox to activate authorization. Confirm the settings by clicking the icon at the bottom of the screen.

   

3. Once the proxy is configured, an icon will appear in the top panel of your device, indicating that the proxy is active.

   

4. To verify the proxy setup, visit a website that checks geolocation to ensure the displayed IP matches the one specified during setup.

   

With the proxy now integrated, Tun2Socks will work over both Wi-Fi and mobile networks like 4G and 5G. Your internet connection is now more secure, and you can access previously restricted sites.
