Setting up a proxy in Tun2Socks for Android

Tun2Socks is an Android application that enables you to reroute your device's traffic through a SOCKS proxy. This is achieved by setting up a virtual network interface that captures and redirects data to a designated proxy. The primary function of the app is to enhance security and anonymity by concealing your IP address, which helps in circumventing geographical restrictions.

The app is compatible with all Android versions starting from 5.0, ensuring broad accessibility. Additionally, Tun2Socks is versatile as it functions effectively across both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections.

Step-by-step proxy configuration in the Tun2Socks app

1. Upon launching Tun2Socks, you're immediately presented with the working menu where you must input the IP address, port, username, and password. Note that Tun2Socks exclusively supports the Socks5 connection protocol. Once you've entered all the required details, click “Start connect” to initiate the connection.

   

2. Once the proxy is active, a key icon will appear in the notification area of your device, indicating that the proxy server is operational. Should you wish to revert to your standard network connection at any time, simply click “Disconnect.”

   

3. To verify that the proxy is functioning properly, you can use our tool to check your IP address's geolocation.

   

Tun2Socks is a straightforward yet powerful tool designed to change a user's IP address. By entering authorization details, you can set up a private proxy that applies system-wide. This enables Tun2Socks to function not only with web browsers but also with most applications installed on your device.
