Android emulator proxy ​

Configuring a proxy in an Android emulator (LDPlayer, MuMu, and similar) gives automation and app debugging the same exit as a real mobile device.


Before you start ​

  • Network type: for mobile-app testing, prefer Rotating Mobile Proxies (4G/5G) or Static Residential Proxies — both look like real end-user networks;
  • IP Whitelist: for Static Proxies, add the host PC’s public IP on JoyProxy Users & Whitelist so you do not have to type credentials. The Rotating Proxies gateway (gate.joyproxy.com:9001) always needs the long username and password in the client.

LDPlayer ​

  1. Open LDPlayer and go to System apps → Settings;
  2. Tap Network & internet → WLAN;
  3. Long-press the default virtual Wi-Fi name and tap Modify network;
  4. Expand advanced options and set Proxy to Manual;
  5. Proxy hostname = Entry Point (for example us-ca.edge.joyproxy.com); Proxy port = the port;
  6. Tap Save.

Keep location aligned with the network ​

If the target app checks both IP and GPS:

  1. Confirm the proxy node’s city (for example Los Angeles, US);
  2. Open the emulator’s virtual location tool and set GPS to the same city;
  3. Keep exit-IP geo and GPS coordinates in the same place.
