If your Android device says “proxy server problem” or “no internet due to proxy settings,” it means your network is routing traffic through a proxy server that’s either unreachable or misconfigured. This often happens after connecting to public Wi-Fi, using a VPN, or accidentally enabling a proxy in network settings.

✅ Step-by-Step Fix

1. Check Wi-Fi Network Settings:
   • Go to Settings › Network & Internet › Internet (or Wi-Fi).
   • Tap your connected Wi-Fi network.
   • Select Advanced › Proxy.
   • If “Manual” is selected, change it to None.
   • Reconnect to the network and test browsing again.
2. Forget and Reconnect to Wi-Fi:
   • Tap your network name → Forget.
   • Reconnect by entering your password again.
3. Disable VPN or Custom DNS:
   • Go to Settings › Network & Internet › VPN and disconnect any VPNs.
   • For DNS, set it back to Automatic if you had custom settings.
4. Reset Network Settings (if issue persists):
   • Open Settings › System › Reset options › Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth.
   • Confirm reset and reconnect to your network.
5. Check Mobile Data (if not using Wi-Fi):
   • Make sure mobile data is enabled.
   • Restart your phone if you still see proxy or connection issues.

⚠️ Tip:

If you’re using a workplace or school network, the proxy may be required by their IT policy. In that case, contact the network administrator before changing settings.
