8PROXY turns your own Android phone into a personal mobile proxy for your own devices on your local network. Think of it as a Wi-Fi hotspot that works the other way around: your laptop stays on your usual Wi-Fi, and its browser reaches the internet through your phone's mobile data connection — the same as sharing your phone's internet with yourself.

Everything stays between your own devices. 8PROXY does not join any proxy network, does not share your connection with other people, and never routes anyone else's traffic through your phone. Only the devices you connect yourself can use it.

HOW IT WORKS
• Tap the power button: 8PROXY starts a proxy server on your phone.
• Your computer connects to it over your local Wi-Fi (or a USB cable) at 8proxy.local — no router setup, no port forwarding.
• Traffic leaves through your phone's mobile data, with the IP address your carrier assigns.

CHANGE YOUR MOBILE IP IN ONE TAP
• Rotate IP: the phone reconnects to your carrier and receives a new mobile IP address.
• Automatic rotation on a timer you choose.
• Rotation link: trigger a new IP from your computer or a script, optionally protected with a secret key.

BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE
• HTTP and SOCKS5 proxy, detected automatically.
• Optional login and password so only you can connect.
• Keeps working in the background with a visible notification while the proxy is on.
• Live upload/download counters, ping and your current mobile IP.
• Mobile data only: the proxy never sends your traffic over the Wi-Fi network it listens on.

WORKS WITH THE 8PROXY CHROME EXTENSION
Pair it with the 8PROXY extension for Chrome: it finds your phone automatically, connects your browser in one click and rotates the IP from the toolbar. Any other app or browser that supports an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy works too.

WHO IT IS FOR
• Using your own mobile connection on your laptop without switching networks.
• Testing how your website, app or ads look from a mobile carrier connection.
• Getting a fresh IP address when a site limits repeated requests from one address.
• Developers and QA teams checking mobile-network behaviour from a desktop browser.
