Use Proxies on Two or More Devices

Looking to use your 9Proxy connection on multiple devices like phones, tablets, or additional computers? Follow this easy step-by-step guide.

Before You Begin

Make sure:

• Both your computer (running the 9Proxy App) and the other device (e.g., iPhone/iPad/Android devices) are on the same local network (LAN).

• Your firewall or VPN isn’t blocking connections between devices.

Step 1: Find the LAN IP Address of Your Computer

You’ll need your computer’s LAN IP address to connect other devices to the proxy.

For macOS

There are 2 ways to find your Mac’s internal IP address:

Option 1: System Settings

• Open System Settings.

• Go to Network.

• Make sure you’re connected to the correct Wi-Fi (your router’s name).

• Click Advanced > TCP/IP.

• Your IP address will appear under IPv4 Address.

Option 2: Terminal

• Open Spotlight, type Terminal, and hit Enter.

• Type the command: ipconfig getifaddr <network interface>

• Your LAN IP will be shown.

• (Optional) To check your public IP, use: curl ifconfig.me

For Windows

• Open PowerShell > Run this command:

(Get-NetIPConfiguration | Where-Object { $_.IPv4DefaultGateway -ne $null -and $_.NetAdapter.Status -eq 'Up' }).IPv4Address.IPAddress

• Then you’ll see the current LAN IP address of your computer.

Step 2: Open 9Proxy and Select the Correct IP

• Launch the 9Proxy App on your computer.

• Select the LAN IP address you just found from the list in the app — you’ll find it in the Port section at the end of the Proxy List.

• Make sure the API Port is correctly configured in the API Reference section of the app.

Step 3: Test The Connection

Now it’s time to test the connection on your other devices (phones, tablets, etc.).

If everything is set up correctly, you’ll see this response:

{
  "error": false,
  "message": "Success",
  "data": [
    {
      "address": ":60000",
      "city": "Westlands",
      "public_ip": "197.***.***.**",
      "online": true
    }
  ]
}

Once both devices are connected to the same local network (LAN), you can configure the proxy on your other devices by using the LAN IP address and the port that you’ve set up in the 9Proxy App.
