PocketProxy

PocketProxy turns your Android phone into your own secure mobile proxy node.

Once paired with your PocketProxy account, your device opens an encrypted tunnel to the PocketProxy network and routes authorized internet traffic through its mobile (cellular) data connection. You stay in full control of the device at all times — start it, stop it, and check its status whenever you want.

How it works

• Pair in seconds by scanning the QR code from your PocketProxy dashboard — nothing to type.

• The app opens a secure, encrypted VPN tunnel to your proxy server.

• While active, it forwards traffic over your device's cellular connection and reports live status (signal strength, network type, connection health) back to your dashboard.

Key features

• Quick QR pairing — connect a device to your account in a single scan.

• Encrypted tunnel — the link between your device and the proxy server is encrypted.

• WiFi Split — stay reachable over WiFi while traffic still exits through cellular.

• IPv4-only option — force IPv4 egress for maximum compatibility.

• Reliable background operation — the app can automatically resume after a reboot so your node stays online.

• Battery- and network-aware — designed to run continuously with minimal interaction.

You're always in control

• A persistent "PocketProxy Active" notification appears whenever the service is running, so you always know when your device is acting as a proxy.

• Stop the service at any time from within the app.

• PocketProxy never inspects, logs, or stores the content of the traffic routed through your device.

What you'll need :

• Android 7.0 or higher.

• A PocketProxy account and a pairing code from your dashboard.

• An active mobile data plan — proxy traffic uses your cellular data, and carrier charges may apply.

PocketProxy is built for people who want to run their own mobile-proxy setup simply and transparently. Pair a device, keep it online, and manage everything from your dashboard.
