Psiphon Settings for Proxy



I have been searching for a good drony alternative for Lollipop for quite some time now.

Psiphon seems to be the best yet.

You can download it from here.

1. Go to your Wi-Fi settings and change the Proxy settings to None.

2. Open Psiphon and go to option and select the settings as given below. Go to More Options and configure it as follows.


3. In the More Options screen , configure Psiphon as shown below.
Replace 202.141.80.22 with the server address you use for your proxy authentication.
Port will be 3128.Username and PWD will the proxy username and passwords you use normally.





4. Start Psiphon and let it run. I found almost everything to be working (Chrome , Play store, whatsapp , Messenger, Facebook).
This is the best alternative to Drony I have found yet. If you know of something more seamless let me know.

11. Change the port to 995.

12. Set the outgoing SMTP server address to 202.141.80,23 (it's the CC's address but since outgoing smtp server settings don't seem to work, I had to go with a this to complete the email setup. If anyone gets the Outgoing server settings working, let me know!)
13. Set the security type to 'None'.
14. Set the port to 25.

15.Next setup your sync frequency and notification settings accordingly.
