Quickly disable Android proxy settings when you can't access your computer. Essential for when you're on the move and need to restore direct internet access.
Before using the app, you need to:
-
Grant system settings permission:
- Install the app
- Open the app
- Tap "Grant Permission" when prompted
- Enable the permission in Android settings
-
Grant WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission via ADB (the app will show you the exact command):
adb shell pm grant dev.ranjith.proxyslayer android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS- Open the app
- Once both permissions are granted, you'll see the current proxy status
- Tap "Disable Proxy" button to remove proxy settings
- The app requires two permissions:
- System settings permission (granted through Android settings)
- WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission (granted via ADB)
- The app automatically refreshes proxy status every 3 seconds
- No root access required
