No latency number after the test
Check The proxy may be HTTP rather than SOCKS5, or the port is wrong.
Fix Check the protocol and port on the asset, edit the profile and test again.
v2rayNG on Android: Set Up a Proxy302 SOCKS5 Proxy
Run a Proxy302 SOCKS5 proxy on your Android phone.
What you need
v2rayNG is an open-source proxy client for Android. It works with SOCKS5 proxies only, so you need a Proxy302 asset using the SOCKS5 protocol: rotating residential, static residential or datacenter.
If the asset is HTTP, switch its protocol to SOCKS5 in My assets (rotating gateway port 3333), or buy a SOCKS5 one. A datacenter IP bought as HTTP cannot be switched: use Postern (below) or buy a SOCKS5 datacenter IP. Datacenter IPs support HTTP and SOCKS5 since 17 October 2026. Proxy302 also has its own Android app under Connect > Mobile app.
What goes in each box
Scroll horizontally with the arrow keys to read all content.
| Criterion | Rotating residential (SOCKS5) | Static and datacenter IPs (SOCKS5) |
|---|---|---|
| Alias | Any name you like | Any name you like |
| Address | proxy.proxy302.com | The address on the asset |
| Port | 3333 | The port on the asset |
| Username and password | From My assets | From My assets |
In My assets, Copy copies the whole line host:port:username:password so you can read each part from it.
Add the proxy
Get a SOCKS5 proxy
In the console open My assets and make sure the proxy uses SOCKS5. Keep host, port, username and password at hand.
Add a profile
Open v2rayNG, tap + and choose Type manually [Socks].
Fill in the boxes
Enter the alias, address, port, username and password as in the table, then tap the check mark to save.
Expected result The new profile appears in the list.
Connect
Select the profile and tap the connect button at the bottom right. Allow the VPN permission if Android asks. The button turns green when the proxy is on.
Expected result The button is green.
Test the link
Tap the test button at the bottom left. A latency number means the proxy is reachable.
Expected result A delay in milliseconds is shown.
Check the exit IP
Open a browser, visit ipinfo.io and compare the IP and country with the proxy you bought.
Expected result ipinfo.io shows the proxy’s IP and country.
Datacenter IP that is HTTP only: use Postern
v2rayNG cannot use HTTP proxies. For an HTTP datacenter IP, add it to Postern as a proxy of type HTTP with the same address, port, username and password, then route traffic through it. Menus differ between Postern versions, so follow the app’s own screens. Or buy a SOCKS5 datacenter IP and use v2rayNG as above.
In mainland China
A direct connection to the proxy usually fails from mainland China. On a computer, run the Helper (Connect > Helper tools) and keep it open. Put the phone on the same Wi-Fi and, in v2rayNG, enter the Helper’s SOCKS5 LAN address and port as address and port. Keep the username and password the same as the asset.
Quick fixes
Connected but the IP is still yours
Check The profile may not be selected, or the connect button is not green.
Fix Select the profile, tap the connect button and reload ipinfo.io.
Authentication failed
Check A character is missing or a space was copied with the username or password; the asset may have expired or run out of traffic.
Fix Copy the details again from My assets and check the asset status.
Stop when Do not keep retrying before the credentials and asset status are confirmed.
It fails only in mainland China
Check The proxy needs an overseas network.
Fix Run the Helper (or a VPN) and use its address and port.
v2rayNG FAQ
Why does v2rayNG only work with SOCKS5?
Its manual proxy profile is a SOCKS profile. For HTTP proxies use another client such as Postern.
Which port do I use?
Rotating gateway: 3333 for SOCKS5. Static and datacenter IPs keep the port shown on the asset.
Does this work on iPhone?
No, v2rayNG is Android-only. On iPhone, use Shadowrocket.
