NekoBox Proxy Setup (Android): An HTTP or SOCKS Node on the Phone

NekoBox for Android adds a node from the add button in the top-right corner. Choose HTTP or SOCKS, type the gateway host in the server field and the port in the port field, fill the username and password even though they are marked optional, save with the tick and start the node. The app opens a VPN connection that routes the phone.

Set up the proxy in NekoBox (Android)

Open NekoBox (Android), follow the 5 moves below and finish with the tool's own check. The values are in the table after the steps.

    Start the node

    Select the node in the list and tap the start button. Android asks to allow the VPN connection once; accept it. Open an IP lookup page in a browser to confirm the exit IP.

    Add more nodes (optional)

    Repeat the steps with another line, for example a different country in the username, and switch between nodes from the list.

Check it

The URL test on the node, then an IP lookup page in the phone's browser once the node is started.

Apps on the phone now exit through the proxy. Per-app routing is in NekoBox's settings if you want only some apps on the line.

What to type: ports and the username

Copy the line from the dashboard (Proxies, your plan, the generator) rather than typing it: it already carries the host, the country, the session id and the session length. The table shows what each field holds.

PlanCopy it fromHTTP portSOCKS5 portUsername shape
Residential Premiumthe generator80801080USER-country-us-sid-k3f9a1b2-ttl-30m

ISP (dedicated IP)the plan page, one line per IPin the linein the linethe line's own login

The host and the password are in the same line. Pick HTTP or SOCKS5 in the tool and use the port of that column; a port from the other column is the most common reason a check fails. On Premium ISP city plans one port serves both types. USER and the session id stand for your own values.

Where the line comes from in the dashboard

  • QuanticData Premium ISP plan step: number of IPs 1 selected, $4.99 for 30 days and the Buy 1 IP button
    Step 3: the number of IPs, the price for 30 days and the Buy button. One IP is one antidetect profile.
  • QuanticData ISP plan page with the assigned IP, port, username and masked password, the protocol switch HTTP or SOCKS5 and the formatted output line
    After payment the plan is in My proxies: each IP comes as IP:Port:Username:Password, HTTP or SOCKS5, ready to paste into the tool.
  • QuanticData residential plan generator with country United States, Max pool, Sticky session of 30 minutes, HTTP, 10 sessions and the host:port:user:pass output format
    The plan page has the generator: country, pool, Sticky session with its TTL, HTTP or SOCKS5, then one line per profile in host:port:user:pass.

The whole buying flow, both routes and the prices are on the integrations page.

NekoBox (Android) proxy questions

What customers ask when they put a QuanticData line into NekoBox (Android).

Something else? Ask us

HTTP or SOCKS in NekoBox for Android?

HTTP with the HTTP port of your plan, SOCKS with the SOCKS5 port. The server and login do not change.

The username and password are marked optional. Do I need them?

Yes. Our gateways authenticate by username and password; without them the node connects but every request is refused.

Does NekoBox on Android work on mobile data and Wi-Fi?

Yes. The VPN connection it opens routes whichever network the phone is on through the proxy.

Which QuanticData plan works best in NekoBox (Android)?

For a whole device, a sticky residential or mobile line keeps one exit for up to 24 hours; a dedicated ISP IP never changes and has unlimited traffic, from $2.69 per IP for 30 days. NekoBox (Android) takes either as a plain HTTP or SOCKS5 server.
