Could you please help me: is it possible to set proxy settings in Android (especially in Chrome)? I have to change IP on Android during the testing. Or there is some soft which can help me to solve this issue...

Found one solution for WIFI (works for Android 4.3, 4.4):

  1. Connect to WIFI network (e.g. 'Alex')
  2. Settings->WIFI
  3. Long tap on connected network's name (e.g. on 'Alex')
  4. Modify network config-> Show advanced options
  5. Set proxy settings

  • Helps to setup a ssh proxy first with sshtunnel then use localhost as the proxy address. No root access required either... – boosth Feb 15 '14 at 23:09
  • @maksim Alekseychik, When you do that, it says it will change your IP for only browsers, not for apps. Is there a way to change the IP that apps on the android work? – Micro Jun 25 '14 at 19:38

    This is solution not only for browser, but for all device's apps. – Maksim Alekseychik Jun 27 '14 at 07:48

  • It doesn't work for me, as I don't connect to a wifi network - I tether mobile data to via wifi to a PC and want the PC to be proxy for my phone :( – Sebi Nov 18 '19 at 11:02
  • The global proxy setup on Android can be done via [ADB](https://gist.github.com/rwp0/a7d3f258ff0a50ef2bcdcd4a50485755) but there seem to be no native Android UI for it. – Elvin Dec 23 '22 at 05:24
