Setting up a proxy in the Tun2TAP app for Android

Tun2TAP is an Android application that redirects all device traffic through a proxy server you configure. This setup changes your IP address, enhancing your online anonymity and enabling you to bypass geographic restrictions or blockades.

The app operates by establishing a tunnel that routes your device’s internet traffic through a chosen proxy server. It supports various proxy types, including HTTP and SOCKS5, making it a versatile solution for various tasks, whether you're using browsers or other applications.

Furthermore, Tun2TAP allows for customized setups by enabling users to specify a custom DNS, adding an additional layer of personalization to the configuration.

Step-by-step proxy configuration in Tun2TAP

1. Start by launching the Tun2TAP app and selecting your desired connection protocol from the main screen. If using a private proxy, enable the “Enable Authentication” checkbox to input your login and password. By default, the UDP traffic tunneling function is active, facilitating access to UDP services via your proxy. After inputting your details, tap “Connect”.

   

2. Once the settings are activated, a key icon will appear on the top panel of your device, indicating that the proxy is active. To deactivate the proxy, simply tap “Disconnect”.

   

3. To specify a custom DNS server, click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the app interface and choose “Custom options/routes”.

   

4. In the subsequent window, manually enter your DNS settings and enable the “DNS Over HTTPS” option for enhanced security.

   

5. To verify that your proxy is correctly configured and operational, use our service to check your geolocation. The IP address displayed should correspond to that of your proxy server.

   

Tun2TAP's advanced settings significantly enhance user privacy. The option to configure UDP facilitates rapid data transfer through the proxy, making it ideal for activities like voice calls on instant messaging apps or playing online games. Additionally, setting up a custom DNS server reduces the risk of DNS leaks, further bolstering the user's privacy.
