Ping Proxies can be used on mobile devices, but native proxy support on both iOS and Android has several limitations that affect compatibility and performance when using authenticated proxies.

​
Limitations of Native Proxy Support

Both iOS and Android offer built-in proxy settings under Wi-Fi network configurations. While this allows basic proxy routing, it comes with the following limitations:
  • No ability to restrict or route traffic by app
  • No visibility into proxy status or traffic logs
  • No support for rule-based routing or custom DNS
For this reason, we recommend using third-party proxy clients that are purpose-built for mobile.

​
iOS & Android — Use Shadowrocket

We recommend using Shadowrocket, a powerful proxy client that supports:
  • Full authentication (username and password)
  • HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, and custom rule routing
  • Per-domain and per-app rules
  • DNS over HTTPS and custom DNS settings
  • Detailed logging and connection stats
📘 To get started, follow our Shadowrocket Integration Guide for a complete walkthrough.
Shadowrocket is a paid app available on the App Store. Once configured, it enables seamless proxy usage across all apps on the device.
