Introduction
Harnessing the power of proxies on Android devices opens up a world of possibilities. While device manufacturers might have slight variations in the process, the core steps for setting up remain consistent. This guide is specifically designed for those using Android’s OxygenOS 13.1.
Proxies are more than just tools for bypassing geo-restrictions. They act as shields, guarding your online identity, and ensuring direct requests, especially from malicious sources, are kept at bay.
Whether you connect through mobile data or Wi-Fi, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive into how to set up Bright Data proxies and enhance your Android experience.

⚠️Important note: If you are using Bright Data’s Residential Proxies, Web Unlocker or SERP API, you need to install an SSL certificate to enable end-to-end secure connections to your target website(s). This is a simple process, see https://docs.brightdata.com/general/account/ssl-certificate#installation-of-the-ssl-certificate for instructions.
