Routes all your Android traffic through a SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy. No root needed.
Hooks into Android's VpnService to intercept every packet leaving your phone and push it through whichever proxy you set. Supports SOCKS5 and HTTP. Auth is optional. Tap connect, done.

Needs Android Studio or the standalone SDK. Min API 26 (Android 8.0).
- Android 8.0+
- A SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy server
ProxTunnel also ships as a Windows desktop app (Electron), the same idea adapted to the desktop. It runs a local SOCKS5 and HTTP relay and points the Windows system proxy at it, so Edge, Chrome and other WinINet apps exit through your proxy. No admin rights needed; the proxy is written to the current user hive.
How it works:
- A local relay on 127.0.0.1 forwards every connection to your remote proxy over SOCKS5 or HTTP CONNECT, using the same protocol fallback as the Android ProxyClient.
- On connect it sets the system proxy (HKCU Internet Settings) to the local relay and broadcasts a settings change so running browsers pick it up straight away.
- On disconnect it clears the proxy and broadcasts again, so the machine is back to a direct connection immediately.
- A live traffic monitor graphs upload and download throughput.
Enter your proxy (type, host, port, optional username and password), press Connect, and browse. Press Disconnect to go back to direct.
