Use Android Phone As a Proxy Server

Download Localtonet from Google Play. Get your AuthToken from the site and enter it in the app. In MyTokens, tap the android icon and set preferences like airplane mode frequency. For non-rooted phones, make Localtonet your default assistant. On the website, pick HTTP or SOCKS proxy and start your server. Connect using the given IP and port. SOCKS5 offers TCP/UDP support, and there are custom packages for multiple devices.
