Http Proxy

Http Proxy is a VPN tool for Android devices that allows you to add custom proxy configurations. It supports handshake testing for HTTPS connections, enables the application of various routing rules, and provides real-time logging of DNS activity. You can configure DNS modes according to your specific requirements. The app features a persistent notification bar for quick monitoring of upload and download traffic, offers customizable color themes, and allows you to proxy application traffic without requiring root access.

Features

Multiple SOCKS5 / HTTP CONNECT profiles, with optional username and password auth

Connectivity test that performs a real handshake before you save a profile

Per-app routing: all apps, an allow list, or a bypass list

Live activity log — DNS lookups and every connection, colour-coded, showing the app that opened it and the resolved hostname instead of a bare IP

Per-profile DNS mode: resolve through the proxy (private) or directly (fast)

Persistent notification with live upload/download counters and a one-tap disconnect

Bypass private networks, block IPv6 leaks, stop automatically when the network drops, start on boot

Material 3 interface with dynamic colour, light and dark themes, and a tablet layout

User comments

Great and reliable! I’ve been using Http Proxy for a while now, and it works smoothly. The connection is fast, stable, and easy to set up. I like that it doesn’t slow down my browsing or streaming. The interface is clean and simple, so you don’t waste time figuring things out. It’s one of the better proxy apps I’ve tried, especially for privacy and speed. Highly recommend if you need a quick, secure connection on Android.

I did not experience any of the bad things mentioned in other reviews, my experience was rather very good. Finally an application which lets you use your own proxy without being connected to the WiFi. Additional things like logging and a widget are neat, 5 stars!

Http Proxy is very easy to configure and simple to use. The connection is fast and stable, and the app works smoothly without confusion. Great app for quick and hassle-free proxy setup.

Summarize

Http Proxy turns an Android phone or tablet into a device-wide proxy client, routing app traffic through a chosen HTTP or SOCKS5 server. Its defining trick is doing this through a local VPN service, so root access isn't required.
