Connection to proxy via mobile data

[BradlySharpe]

How would one run this and connect to it when using 3G/4G? Was thinking a VPN would be needed with the proxy set through this?

App works great while on Wi-Fi, unfortunately as soon as I leave the house Wi-Fi and access to the proxy stop.

You could try making a custom Access Point Name instead. Take all of the configuration settings from the preexisting APN that you currently use to connect with your carrier's cell towers and create a duplicate APN entry using those settings. Now all you have to do is modify that duplicate APN's proxy host and port.

You should be able to find more details just by Google'ing, but if you still need help and happen to have an Android phone -- let me know!

That's a bit nasty, if people want to use this out of Wi-Fi range, thinking of people not that technical.

Also I have an iPhone 😞

I can see where you're coming from, but that's hardly the case. A quick Google search for "iphone apn" reveals that there are a bunch of ways to change iPhone's APN settings -- including a few sites that let you automate the creation of a new APN profile. I'm sure given enough time somebody on the team with an iPhone will make a standardized enough guide for most people to configure a custom APN for their own iPhones.

If you're feeling up to a challenge, feel free to try out some of the guides on the internet. Just make sure you backup your APN settings. Inputting wrong settings won't brick your iPhone, but it will make all carrier-based services not function until you revert back or fix the settings.

Good luck!

Thanks for taking this @raevox. We're indeed still looking for best
practices. I myself set up a proxied APN but am currently exploring ways to
get it password-protected, however not all are just as accessible to the
layman.
