Proxy Setup — Android

The proxy only works on WiFi, not mobile data, and is set per WiFi network. Menu names vary slightly between Android brands — these steps follow standard Android; Samsung wording is shown in brackets.

Your proxy details

  • Proxy server address: proxy.mysetup.co.uk

  • Port: 80

  • Username & password: the same login you use at www.libertyshield.com

Our proxy is UK-based, so websites will see you in the United Kingdom. The proxy does not work for other countries — for those, use the VPN instead.
