How to Set Up Proxies With SocksDroid

1. To configure Oxylabs SOCKS5 proxies, specify the following details under Connection.

Residential Proxies

Server IP: pr.oxylabs.io

Server Port: 7777

You can also use country-specific entries. For example, entering it-pr.oxylabs.io under Server IP and 20000 under Server Port will acquire an Italian exit node. Please refer to our documentation for a complete list of country-specific entry nodes or if you need a sticky session.

Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies

Server IP: a specific IP address (1.2.3.4)

Server Port: 60000

For Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, you’ll have to choose an IP address from the acquired list. Please refer to our documentation for more details.

Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies

Server IP: ddc.oxylabs.io

Server Port: 8001

For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies, the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired list.

2. Enable authentication and enter your Oxylabs proxy user’s credentials. Use the same username and password you entered to create a new proxy user in the Oxylabs dashboard.

Optionally, under the Advanced section, you can configure settings to use proxies for particular applications exclusively or create proxying exceptions.

3. Toggle the switch up top to enable proxies. You’ll see an icon in the notifications bar signifying the established proxy connection.

And that’s it. Your device’s traffic is now shielded by a SOCKS5 proxy for security and anonymity.
