Can you use a proxy server on a hotspot?

How do I set a proxy on my mobile data?

First of all, I need to clarify that I have both my mobile data and home internet (with my home router) connected to my phone. I use my phone's browser for browsing the internet.

I have read a lot of articles on the internet, but they seem to be confusing to me. Can you please provide me with a step-by-step guide on how to set a proxy on my mobile data? Also, please point out where I can read more about this topic.

Step 1: On your device, go to Settings > Network > Mobile Networks > More > Proxy Settings. Step 2: Choose your network provider's proxy server from the list. Step 3: Click the "Apply" button at the bottom. Now you should be able to browse the internet through your proxy server.

What is hotspot proxy setting?

A Hotspot or Access Point is a network bridge device that allows a wireless computer to connect to the Internet when there is not direct WiFi access available.

Hotspots are usually found in coffee shops, hotel rooms and other public locations and can be shared by many wireless devices at once. A Hotspot is considered a type of router, since it is not just a wireless bridge for connecting other devices to the wireless network. But just like routers, hotspots are prone to a number of attacks like man-in-the-middle attacks (MitM) and man-on-the-side (MitS) attacks. Most hotspots in use by end users are secured via WEP which does not offer much protection but it is considered good enough. However, WEP is not very strong and can be cracked within a matter of minutes. The use of the WPA protocol is recommended but not entirely effective. That's why it is strongly recommended that your home router should also have WPA enabled. You need to manually select this for a new user, but a computer owner may not know this or simply may not care as he is always logged into his home network anyway. This way, even if you are not physically logged into your router, your router will still require a username and password. But just like routers, hotspots are prone to a number of attacks like man-in-the-middle attacks (MitM) and man-on-the-side (MitS) attacks.
