But what IP address and port will you use? You will be using your router IP address as the proxy server IP address. to find out the IP address of your router, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/ipinfo.io\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this<\/a> page and copy your IP. Let say you see something like 132.72.24.52 as your IP, then that becomes the IP of the proxy and then 3131 the port.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"limitation-of-using-your-android-as-a-proxy\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limitation_of_Using_your_Android_as_a_Proxy\"><\/span><strong>Limitation of Using your Android as a Proxy\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8699 perfmatters-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy-300x110.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy-768x280.jpg.webp 768w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20365'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20365'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Limitation of Using your Android as a Proxy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"365\" data-src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy-768x280.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8699\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy-300x110.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy-768x280.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy.jpg\" alt=\"Limitation of Using your Android as a Proxy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Limitation-of-Using-your-Android-as-a-Proxy-768x280.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>From the method above, everything looks good. But the problem is \u2013 you are still using the same home router.
