Proxy setting on android
The purpose of a proxy server is to spoof your IP address. This is necessary in order to maintain anonymity on the Internet. Thanks to this, you can hide your location and get access to those information resources that are officially blocked on the territory of the country or region.
In fact, such a proxy server acts as an intermediary. And those Internet resources, to which the user who uses a proxy server goes, "see" him under the intermediary IP address.
Here is a detailed description of how to set up a proxy on android.

Here is a detailed description of how to set up a proxy on android.
Why set up proxy on android?
- To organize mass mailing (spam).
- Proxy allows you to view websites, social networks, photos, videos or read texts on those resources that are blocked on the territory of a whole country or a separate region.
- To bypass IP address blocking in chats, forms, forums and channels.
- To create several accounts on a certain network resource from one device. It is important to remember that many sites perceive setting up a proxy server as a prohibited action. If the resource administrators manage to identify the violator, they will take retaliatory measures. Most likely, they will prefer to configure access blocking according to even broader criteria
Besides, using a proxy when surfing the Internet via your phone allows you to save traffic and get a speed boost. What makes it happen?
1) Acceleration. When a user opens a new site on android - pictures, banners and other elements are loaded on the device. All this unnecessary "load" affects the speed of the phone on the network. If you connect through a proxy server - then all this data will also be downloaded. But - only once. Besides, they will be stored on the hard disk - in the cache, which also affects the speed, but not so much.
2) Saving traffic does not work in all cases. In brief - to activate this option via proxy you need one of these browsers: Opera Mini or UC Browser HD. If you make the right settings in the software - then the browsers will start passing traffic through their servers. And mobile devices with proxies will receive this information, but in a compressed form.
