    Unlike iOS, Android devices don’t have fields for authenticating the proxy server in the settings. Instead,
    you’ll be asked to authenticate when you open your web browser. There, simply enter your credentials: username
    and password.

    <Note>
      If you’ve authenticated by whitelisting your IP address, you don’t need to enter the credentials. We
      recommend using whitelist IP for Android and iOS connections for ease of use.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test">
    Go to [What Is My IP Address](https://whatismyipaddress.com/) to see if your IP address and location have
    changed.
