Integrating DataImpulse proxies with Tun2TAP
Tun2TAP is a free Android app that lets you turn your smartphone into a VPN by redirecting traffic through a proxy server. The app is easy and fast to set up, and it supports the most popular protocols – HTTP and SOCKS5. Paired with DataImpulse proxies, the app is a reliable tool for securing your connection and protecting your privacy. In this tutorial, you can read about all the steps you need to take in order to complete adjusting settings.
Step-by-step manual on configuring DataImpulse proxies in Tun2TAP:
- Download the app from the official store.
- When you open the app for the first time, you will be asked for consent to use your personal data. Provide it or manage options and confirm your choices. Then, you will be asked to accept the notification permission. Press Allow permission.
- At the top of the screen, open Proxy Type and select the necessary option. In the following field, enter host and port data in the hostname:port format. You can copy that data from the necessary plan’s tab on your DataImpulse dashboard.
- If you need to allow authentication, open Authentication settings and tick Enable Authentication. Paste your username and password in the respective fields. Again, you can get that information from your DataImpulse account. Here is a detailed instruction on how to use the dashboard.
- To ensure a proxy server performs smoothly, navigate to the UDP settings and disable UDP badvpn.
- Press the Connect button. If your device shows you a connection request, press OK. Now, a key symbol should appear on top of your screen – it means you’re connected via a proxy server. If you no longer need to use a proxy, simply press Disconnect.
That’s it! As you can see, setting up Tun2TAP is effortless. In case you haven’t yet decided on what proxy manager to choose, here are other key benefits Tun2TAP offers you:
