[Request] Socks5 Proxy Support - Android

[mark50 0]

I know this has been asked before and was resolved by other means like configuring the VPN to work with specific applications.

 

But I would like to see socks5 proxies supported because, android only allows one vpn at a time and most ad blockers work by creating a vpn.

 

Thus meaning you cannot use air vpn alongside an android ad blocker like AdGuard or DNS66 etc but, you can use a proxy.

I'm also interest in the SOCK5 proxy option, I use Netguard and have the same problem stated above.

No help ?

Yep, that would be great.
Or maybe include ad blocking as a feature in Eddie?

Done simply by searching for "socks5". The latter is most interesting, answers from Staff and a knowledgable mod.

Status quo is, it seems like it's not going to happen.

A proxy does little for your own protection. It's better to look for other methods of ad blocking. Locally on the device I must admit I'm not aware of any apps which support a proxy mode instead (but would be a much less brutal method than VPN), and the other methods almost universally require some form of root access, either /sbin/su or Magisk.

That would contradict the Net Neutrality principle, wouldn't it?
