Set global proxy in Android

This question already has answers here:

Closed 3 months ago.

In order to provide safe browsing, I want to set global proxy to route all http/https requests from any browser to my proxy server on both WiFi and 2G/3G networks for non rooted Android devices with OS version 2.2 and above.

After categorization, proxy server will send response to browsers.

I have seen so many posts in SO also, but nobody has explained for Mobile networks(2G/3G). Please inform whether there is a possibility or not at all? If yes, please suggest a way. If anybody have idea, please share your thoughts.Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Gopi.

Answer

There are several proxy apps available to accomplish something like that. Though most of them require root access to the device, not all do (I have not tested any of them, so I cannot tell in detail).

However, a different approach might be checking into VPN apps, as that's pretty much what you targeting: a Virtual Private Network, where your server acts as a "checkpoint". Many of those VPN apps do not require root access, but many also use a dedicated VPN provider. Still, the linked lists should contain a working solution for you.
