ProxyDroid

Take full control of your network traffic with ProxyDroid

ProxyDroid is a powerful tool for anyone who needs granular control over how apps connect to the internet. It’s not aimed at casual users, but for power users, testers, and people working behind strict firewalls, it can become an essential part of the toolkit.

Once configured on a rooted device, ProxyDroid lets you route traffic through HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5 proxies, including support for basic, NTLM, and NTLMv2 authentication. One of its standout features is per‑app proxy routing: instead of forcing all traffic through a proxy, you can specify exactly which apps should use it. This is especially useful if you want to secure or filter specific services while leaving others on a direct connection.

Multiple profiles make it easy to switch between different environments, such as home, office, or a public hotspot. You can even bind profiles to specific Wi‑Fi SSIDs or mobile networks, so the correct configuration kicks in automatically. Handy widgets allow quick on/off toggling, which is great when you’re constantly moving between networks.

Advanced users will appreciate extras like custom bypass lists for IP addresses that should ignore the proxy, a DNS proxy for networks that block external DNS resolution, and basic PAC file support. Despite these capabilities, ProxyDroid remains lightweight, with low battery and memory usage thanks to its native codebase.

The interface is functional rather than pretty, and beginners may find the options overwhelming. The requirement for root access is also a major barrier for many users. However, the built‑in recovery option helps you reset network settings if a configuration goes wrong.

For those comfortable with rooted devices and network jargon, ProxyDroid delivers robust, flexible proxy management in a compact package.
