# Using 9Proxy 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 I**Pv4 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** and run this command:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

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

{% endcode %}

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

{% endhint %}

## 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.).

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open the browser on the second device.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the address bar, enter:

`http://<YourComputerLANIP>:<APIPort>/api/port_status?t=2`

* Replace `<YourComputerLANIP>` with your computer’s IP address from **Step 1**.
* Replace `<APIPort>` with your configured proxy port (10101).
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

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**.

## Troubleshooting
