A cloud phone connects from its cloud network, not your computer’s local connection. Follow this general workflow after confirming that your platform supports the protocol and username/password authentication.
1. Prepare proxy details
Find an active resource in Proxy management and check its protocol, host, port, proxy username and proxy password. These are proxy credentials, not your website sign-in. Menu names can vary by tool version.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Protocol / Type | Choose HTTP or SOCKS5 to match the resource and its port. |
| Host / Address | Copy the IP or connection hostname from the resource; enter only the host. |
| Port | Copy the port from the same resource, rather than the tool’s default. |
| Username and password | Copy the proxy credentials into separate fields; check case and extra spaces. |
2. Configure the tool
- Open proxy or network settings on your cloud phone platform and add a custom proxy.
- Choose SOCKS5 and enter the MantaProxy resource’s public host, port, proxy username and proxy password.
- Use the platform’s proxy check and save after it passes. For batch imports, verify one entry against the platform’s format first.
- Open proxy settings for the target cloud phone, select the saved proxy and confirm assignment.
- Start the cloud phone and check the exit IP and target app inside that device.
Do not enter 127.0.0.1 or your computer’s private LAN address; a cloud device cannot use them to reach your desktop proxy. Do not assume whitelist authentication is required. Use the purchased resource’s actual credentials and send support the displayed error if the check fails.
3. Verify the connection
Open an IP checker inside the configured app, browser profile or device, then test your target website. A successful connection check or latency value does not prove all requests use the intended route. Location differences can also come from lookup databases.
4. Troubleshooting
- Authentication fails: Check the proxy credentials and resource validity. Do not use your MantaProxy website account.
- Connection times out: Check host, port, protocol and network reachability, then consult the troubleshooting FAQ.
- Your local IP still appears: Check the selected proxy, matching rules and exclusions; avoid competing proxy extensions or clients controlling the same traffic.
