Proxy on Mobitru devices

You can track requests and responses of an app/site opened on Mobitru devices with the help of a Proxy tool.

Pre-condition: Do I need to turn on VPN on the Mobitru devices?

If you are working via our CMD application, we advise turning on a required VPN on your PC (if necessary for your application/site). In this case, you do not need to install or connect a VPN on the device. This should be done before the Steps to configure the work of a Proxy tool and Mobitru device.

Important: Do I need to configure a Proxy in the device’s Wi-Fi settings?

No, you do not. Leave None in Settings -> Advanced -> Proxy. The setting is so by default. You do not need to change anything on the device when you start a new session.
