Troubleshooting Proxy Issues on Android

Setting up a proxy on Android can surface the same issues covered in other troubleshooting guides (no connection, pages not loading, repeated auth prompts, etc.). To avoid duplication, this page highlights only Android-specific checks and points you to the detailed articles for each issue.

Quick Android Checks

• Ensure the proxy is set under Wi-Fi → Advanced → Proxy → Manual for the network you’re using.
• Some Android apps bypass system proxies; test with Chrome or Firefox first.
• Toggle Wi-Fi off/on or reboot the device after changing proxy settings.
• If using IP whitelist, confirm your current IP is added in the dashboard.
