Add the proxy in Postern, turn on its VPN, and check the IP; SocksDroid is the SOCKS5-only alternative.
| Item | Postern | SocksDroid |
|---|---|---|
| Protocols | HTTP and SOCKS5 (type is chosen in the proxy profile) | SOCKS5 client |
| How it works | Android VPN service; a proxy profile, then an optional rule | Android VPN service (VpnService) |
| Status | Proxy Seller's and Proxy302's guides describe the same flow | README: maintenance mode, no new features planned, bug fixes only |
| Pick it when | You have an HTTP IP, or want rules for which traffic goes through | You have a SOCKS5 IP and want a plain client |

Server name: Any label, for example the IP's remark in My assets
Server address: Host from My assets
Server port: Port from My assets: 2222 for HTTP, 3333 for SOCKS5
Username and Password: Copied from My assets, without spaces
Type: HTTP or SOCKS5, the same as the protocol My assets shows for that IP
Source: Proxy302 product facts, 10 November 2026 (ports 2222 and 3333; each static IP asset has one protocol, chosen at purchase).
In Proxy302 open My assets, click the IP and copy host, port, username and password. Note the protocol.
Open Postern and tap Add Proxy Server. Enter a server name.
Fill in Server Address, Server Port, Username and Password, then set the type to HTTP or SOCKS5 to match the IP. Tap Save.
Select the proxy configuration, open the side menu and tap Turn on VPN. Android asks for permission to set up a VPN connection the first time; accept.
Open a browser and go to https://ipinfo.io/json. The IP and country should be the proxy's, not your mobile or Wi-Fi network's.
Some Postern guides add a routing rule after the profile: open Rules, tap Add Rule, set Match Method to Match All, set the action to Proxy/Tunnel and pick your proxy profile, then save. Match All sends the whole device through the proxy; a narrower match sends only some traffic.
Menu names differ between Postern versions. If you do not see Rules, the profile and Turn on VPN from the steps above are enough.
Check Is the VPN switched on, and does Android show the VPN key icon?
Fix Select the profile and tap Turn on VPN again; if you added a rule, check that it is Match All and points to your profile.
Stop when Another VPN app may hold the VPN slot; turn it off.
Check Does the type match the protocol of the IP, and the port match that protocol?
Fix Set HTTP with port 2222 or SOCKS5 with port 3333, as My assets shows.
Stop when If it still fails with the right type, copy username and password again without spaces.
Check Were the username and password typed by hand?
Fix Paste them from My assets.
Stop when If it fails after pasting, check the IP has not expired.
Check Is the rule narrower than Match All?
Fix Change the rule to Match All, or add the app to the rule.
Stop when Apps that do not use the system VPN are outside what this tool covers.
For an app account you log in to on your phone, use a static ISP IP, one per account; it does not change during its term and costs US$7.99 for 30 days. For checking pages from another country, rotating residential per GB from US$1.50 does the job.
For Wi-Fi proxy settings without an app, and for v2rayNG, see the Android proxy setup guide. The system proxy does not take SOCKS5 or a login, which is why a client app is needed.
Yes. In the proxy profile set the type to HTTP and enter the username and password; for Proxy302 the HTTP port is 2222.
No. It is a SOCKS5 client. Use Postern for HTTP.
The guides describe Postern working through Android's VPN permission, not root. Accept the VPN prompt the first time you turn it on.
Open https://ipinfo.io/json in the phone browser with the VPN on and compare it with your normal IP.
No. The smallest purchase is one static IP for one day at US$0.50.
Android proxy setup, SOCKS5 browser limits and static ISP prices.
How to set a system proxy for a Wi-Fi network on Android, its limits and when to use a client app.
Add a Proxy302 SOCKS5 proxy to v2rayNG on Android, test the connection and check your exit IP. HTTP-only datacenter IPs: use Postern, or get a SOCKS5 one.
Chrome has no SOCKS5 login, but a static ISP per-IP lease also works on HTTP port 2222 with the same login.
SOCKS5 on all three lines: rotating residential from US$1.50/GB, static ISP and datacenter IPs per IP and term. Port 3333 with username and password, and the errors you see when a setting is wrong.
