How to set up a proxy in Psiphon on PC

For a stable connection where keeping a single IP address matters, we recommend buying ISP proxy and configuring it in Psiphon. In this setup, the app always connects through the same IP address until you change it manually. To set up a proxy in Psiphon on your computer, follow these simple steps:

1. Download and open Psiphon. If it's not connected, click the “Connect” button.

   

2. In the left frame of the application, go to “Settings” and open the “Upstream Proxy” tab.

   

3. In the new window:
• Enter the IP address in the “Proxy hostname” field.
• Specify the proxy port.
• For private proxies, fill in your username and password.
• Leave the domain field as is if no changes are needed.

  

4. After ensuring all details are correct, click “Apply changes”.

   

Your Psiphon proxy connection is now ready for use. The same configuration applies when you use rotating residential proxies. In this case, rotation happens on the provider’s servers under the conditions you define in your dashboard.

Setting up a proxy in Psiphon on iOS

To adjust the proxy settings in the Psiphon app on your iPad or iPhone for bypassing internet restrictions:

1. Open the app by selecting its icon from the main menu.

   

2. In the main window, which displays the connection status and the location of the current proxy server, click the gear icon in the top right corner to access settings.

   

3. In the settings, turn on the “Use upstream proxy” slider to enable proxy connection. Then, select “Custom HTTP headers”.

   

4. In the headers window, choose the first header option. Enter the proxy server's IP address at the top, and the port number at the bottom.

   

5. For private proxies, enable the “Use proxy authentication” slider in the main menu. This will make username and password fields available for you to fill in.

   

The proxy settings you enter are automatically applied to all internet traffic from the device and become effective immediately after saving.

Setting up a proxy in Psiphon on Android

If Psiphon requires services to see a mobile IP address, using mobile proxy is recommended. It can reduce the likelihood of restrictions and blocks on some resources.

To set up a proxy in the Psiphon app for Android, available for download on Google Play, follow these steps:

1. Open the app to see the main home page. Swipe left or tap the “Options” tab.

   

2. Navigate to and select “Proxy settings”.

   

3. Enable “Connect through an HTTP Proxy” if it's not already active. Click on “Use the following settings” to manually enter proxy server details. This will reveal fields for the IP address and connection port.

   

4. Under “Host Address”, input the proxy server's IP address and click “OK” to go back to the proxy settings.

   

5. Select “Port”, enter the port number provided by your proxy server, and click “OK”.

   

6. At the bottom of the page, enable “Use proxy authentication”, necessary for private proxies that require a username and password.

   

7. Enter your username and confirm by clicking “OK”.

   

8. Next, enter the password and also confirm by clicking “OK”. After returning to the main settings menu, your configurations will be saved automatically.

   

9. Go back to the home page and click “Start” to initiate the configured connection. You can now browse or use online applications through a secure internet connection.

   

Configuring a proxy in Psiphon ensures that all mobile device traffic is routed through it, enhancing connection performance, protecting against data theft, and ensuring online anonymity.
