Is there any way I can use a proxy on Android on a per app basis instead of system wide? Just like for some who don’t want absolutely everything to be routed through a VPN, some VPNs offer the option to include/exclude applications. That’s exactly what I’d like to do, just with a proxy on my phone.

      You could also use termux and set up something like tinyproxy to route specific sites to the various proxies.

      Something like invizible has an outbound socks proxy setting so you could use that to send all traffic to your local http/socks proxy.

      A lot of browsers have plugins like foxyproxy that will let you set global (per browser) or site/wildcard proxies.

        Yup, Firefox was a thought but I wasn’t sure if extensions were a thing on Android. I do use FoxyProxy on my desktop so it would come in handy if it’d work on my phone too.

          It does.

          You can also install all the different versions/forks of FF for android for more separation. (Nightly, mull, tor, etc)
