How to set up proxy on Android?

Does Android have proxy settings?

I have recently moved from T-Mobile to Sprint.

On the Android OS, I now get 3.5 GB/month. I'm using this with a hotspot and I'm only about halfway through the month. My question is if I can limit my internet to just 2 or 3 apps and let it go until next month? Will that happen? Will I get charged extra if I let it go over the amount they give me?

Yes and No. For all intents and purposes, your data plan with Sprint is unlimited. The "unlimited" part of it is actually what's important. Unlimited just means you don't have any data restrictions; any app can use as much data as it wants. When the data usage hits the 2GB or 3GB, it will show up in the top right corner of the screen in the form of a notification. You can then either let the app use that data (if it supports "Auto-surf mode" as of Lollipop), or you can pause or kill the app that's using up all that data.

In my experience, all of the apps you mention do support the auto-surf functionality, so I'd say that option is your best bet. Just try not to let it go over 3GB because there's no way to prevent apps from doing that (at least, not from my experience), so you may need to take action on your own to avoid hitting your monthly allotment.

I should also add that when you go over 3GB, Sprint will start charging you extra. I don't know what the prices are going to be, but I do know that it won't be cheap.

The cost of the data plan is the same regardless of how much data you use. The only difference is when the data used has reached that threshold, you'll get a notification. The cost is the same whether you use 5GB of data or 50GB.

If you use 1GB of data today, you still use the same amount of data tomorrow when the data usage reaches 2GB. That isn't going to change.

How do I set a proxy on my browser?

Proxy is the key to the magic.

With it, you are actually able to access a site that is restricted or banned. For example, if you have a Gmail address, your IP must be registered somewhere. Once someone finds out your IP, they are then able to use that IP and send you some spam. Proxy is the way to make this happen. Let's say I have a proxy.

This means now my IP is not shown to anyone. It is used only by my proxy server. I need to make it possible for my laptop/browser to talk to that proxy server. This is how I do it:

I install a software called Privoxy which is what we will use to make our life easier when using proxies. Sudo apt-get install privoxy. Then let's put it into run as a service so it runs automatically: sudo sh /etc/init.d/privoxy start I log off to login again to have privoxy start up as soon as I start up my computer. Sudo systemctl start firefox. Let's go ahead and install a few extensions. First I install Ghostery. It tells me what they're collecting in case they want to sell anything.

Sudo apt-get install ghostery. Install NoScript and uBlock for Firefox. Sudo apt-get install noscript ublock. Set the default homepage and search engine to Google. You can change them to anything you like.

There is a setting on Google Chrome where I can use any search engine I want. If it doesn't work, it won't work. I can't guarantee that google search will work because there's so many things that could go wrong. For instance, their servers might be down, they might not want to allow search engines to search through the pages they provide, etc. What I tried in an earlier entry was:

Sudo chrome --proxy-server="". That failed. Then I decided to use the following: sudo chrome --proxy-server=".com" That worked for me. Let's put this in another article.
