How to add a local proxy#

Overview#

The local proxy feature allows you to share existing ClonBrowser proxies with other devices on the same local network, such as phones, tablets, or other computers.

This feature is useful if you are facing any of the following:

• You want your phone or tablet to use a proxy from ClonBrowser
• You need to share a proxy network within the same local network
• You want other devices to use a designated proxy
• You need to perform business operations or testing on mobile devices

With the local proxy feature, other devices can connect to proxy configurations bound in ClonBrowser, enabling multi-device collaborative use.

Step-by-step Instructions#

1. Set Up Local Proxy#

Go to the 「Proxy」 page, find the proxy you want to share with other devices, find 「Set Local Proxy」 in the proxy menu, then click 「Edit」.

2. Enter Local Proxy Information#

In the local proxy settings, select Http as the protocol and fill in an available port within the range of 20 - 65535.

Save after completing.

3. Start the Local Proxy#

After setting up the local proxy, click 「Start」.

Once started successfully, you can click 「View Configuration」 to see the connection information for the current local proxy.

On the device that needs to use the proxy, enter the proxy configuration according to the information from 「View Configuration」.
