Set Up Scrapingbypass Proxy in Postern on Android and Emulators

Configure a Scrapingbypass proxy in Postern on an Android phone or emulator, assign it to a rule and enable the VPN connection. Check the network route on the device or emulator you intend to use.

1. Generate your proxy connection details

Sign in to the Scrapingbypass console and select a residential or datacenter proxy plan. For the full extraction workflow, see the residential proxy guide or datacenter proxy guide.

Proxy network: choose residential or datacenter proxies to suit your workload. Residential proxies use residential exit IPs; datacenter proxies are an option for bandwidth-intensive browsing and data collection. Test the destination before committing to a workflow.
Location: select the country, region or city your task requires.
Protocol: This Postern walkthrough uses HTTP/HTTPS CONNECT. Select HTTP for that setup; if using SOCKS5 instead, match it at both ends. The protocol selected in the application must match the connection details you generate.
Gateway: use the generated domain gateway by default. If your console offers an IP gateway and you need it for troubleshooting, use the gateway supplied for that plan.
Output format: select ip:port:username:password so you can identify the four fields. Do not confuse it with username:password@ip:port.
Session duration: choose the available duration that fits your task. A longer session is not a permanent static IP.
Separator and quantity: keep the default separator unless your import method requires another one. Set the quantity after choosing a session duration, then click Extract proxies.

2. Check the host, port and authentication fields

Copy the values from your own extraction result. Quick copy is useful for one proxy; batch extraction provides multiple entries. The following values are placeholders, not working credentials:

gw.cloudbypass.com:1288:YOUR_PROXY_USERNAME:YOUR_PROXY_PASSWORD

Host / server address: gw.cloudbypass.com in this datacenter example. Use the actual host returned by your console; residential plans may return a different gateway, such as gw-res.cloudbypass.com.
Port: 1288 in this example; use the port in your result.
Username: your generated proxy username, including any location or session parameters it contains.
Password: the generated proxy password, not your console sign-in password.

3. Add the proxy and configure a rule in Postern

Open Postern and use the upper-left menu. Select Configure proxies, then Add proxy server, or edit an existing proxy.
Choose a name you will recognize. Fill in Server address, Server port, Username and Password using the generated values.
Choose HTTP/HTTPS CONNECT for the HTTP setup shown here, then save the proxy.
Open Configure rules. In the relevant rule, set Proxy / proxy group to the proxy you just saved, rather than leaving it as No proxy. Save the rule.
Return to the menu and enable the VPN. The key or VPN icon only indicates that Android has an active VPN service; check the final exit IP in the application that should use the proxy.

Verify the connection and troubleshoot

Save the configuration and start the application or browser profile. Check the public exit IP from inside that profile or the app that should use the proxy, then open your intended destination.
If authentication fails, re-copy the generated proxy username and password without spaces. Keep the entire username, including its session and location parameters.
If the connection times out, check the host, port, protocol, proxy balance and any required upstream route. Test the phone, emulator and desktop environment separately.
A VPN icon, a changed extension icon or a successful proxy check confirms only part of the connection. It does not guarantee that every website will accept the session or that a later request will succeed.
Keep credentials private. When requesting support, share the application version, protocol and a redacted error message, not your proxy password.
