How to Set Up a Proxy on an Android Phone

In scenarios such as cross-border internet access, overseas business operations, social media management, account logins, or data access, setting up a proxy IP on an Android phone is a very common and efficient solution. The Android system supports manual proxy configuration at the Wi-Fi network level, allowing users to set up a proxy without installing any third-party applications. The process is simple, stable, and secure.
