Proxy Exit

Proxy Exit is NOT a way to set up a proxy on your phone. It is a part of a setup to route your desktop browser's internet traffic through your phone's mobile data connection.

Setup requires three components: a Proxy Server, this app, and a configured browser.

● Start the Proxy Server

Run the following Docker command on a machine accessible from the internet:

docker run -d -p 8888:8888 -p 9999:9999 -e AUTH_CODE=XXX registry.gitlab.com/viru7/proxy:latest

Port 8888 — browser HTTP proxy connections
Port 9999 — mobile app connections
XXX — your chosen password

If the server is running on a home machine, ensure port 9999 is forwarded to it.

● Configure the app

Enter the server's IP address, port (9999), and your password, then tap Start.

Keep the app running in the foreground while in use. If the connection to the server drops, the app will automatically retry every minute.

● Configure your browser

Set the browser's HTTP and HTTPS proxy to the server's IP address and port (8888).

How it works:

1. The app connects to the Proxy Server, making the phone available as a proxy exit node.
2. When the browser needs to make an HTTP request, it sends it to the Proxy Server.
3. The Proxy Server forwards the request to the phone over the established connection.
4. The phone fetches the content via mobile data and returns it through the server to the browser.
