Some Android apps may not honor system proxy settings. For full coverage, use apps that allow proxy input or third-party solutions.
For SOCKS5 support, use a proxy tunnel or app-based configuration (not available via native Android UI).
Make sure to match the proxy format to the type you’re configuring. Mistakes in IP, port, or credentials can block network access.
