Setting up a proxy in the Android app Postern

Postern is an Android application designed to enhance data privacy by allowing users to change their IP addresses, which facilitates the bypassing of geo-restrictions imposed by various online resources.

This app supports the configuration of multiple proxy servers, enabling users to switch between them as required for optimal connectivity. Additionally, Postern provides a feature to set connection rules. This feature allows users to specify conditions under which traffic should be proxied, based on the website being accessed or the application in use, thus offering tailored and efficient network management.

Step-by-step proxy setup in Postern

1. Open the Postern app and select “Add Proxy” from the main menu.

   

2. In the provided window, type the name for the proxy. Choose the connection protocol and, if using a private proxy, input your username and password. Once filled, click “Save”.

   

3. Access the sidebar by tapping the three bars in the upper left corner and choosing “Rules”.

   

4. Then, proceed to “Add Rule”.

   

5. For the “Match method”, select “Match All”. In the “Rule” field, choose “Proxy/Tunnel” and link it to the proxy you previously configured. Confirm your settings by clicking “Save”. The proxy is now active. To turn off the proxy, navigate back to the menu as described in Step 3 and select “VPN Off”.

   

6. Verify the proxy configuration by visiting a site that checks geolocation. Ensure that the displayed IP address matches that of your proxy.

   

Your proxy setup within the Postern application is now complete, enhancing your connection's security and opening access to previously restricted resources.
