# Android Devices

This guide will walk you through the steps to set up 9Proxy on your Android device using either mobile data or Wi-Fi.

## Before You Start

Make sure that:

* Your computer (running the 9Proxy app) and your Android device are connected to the same local network (**LAN**).
* No firewall or antivirus is blocking the connection.

## Step 1: Find Your Computer’s LAN IP Address

You’ll need [your computer’s LAN IP address](https://docs.9proxy.com/intergrations/residential-proxy-by-ips/use-proxies-on-two-or-more-devices) to connect your Android device to the proxy.

## Step 2: Launch 9Proxy and Select the Correct IP

* Open the 9Proxy app on your computer.
* In the Proxy List, find the Port section and select the **LAN IP** address you found in **Step 1**.
* [Port forward](https://docs.9proxy.com/getting-started/quick-start/configure-proxy-on-macos-windows) the selected proxy to any available port of your choice.

* After port forwarding, go to the **Forwarding List** to find your proxy info, including the forwarded port.
