CCProxy server configuration (Windows)

  1. Install and run CCProxy on the Windows machine.
  2. In CCProxy options:
    • Ensure the appropriate proxy services are enabled (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, FTP as needed).
    • Note the listening port(s) — default HTTP is often 808, or check CCProxy’s UI for assigned ports.
  3. Configure allowed clients:
    • Under account or IP address management, add the Android client’s IP or IP range if restricting by IP.
    • Alternatively, configure authentication (username/password) for proxy access.
  4. If connecting remotely:
    • Configure Windows firewall to allow CCProxy listening ports.
    • Set router port forwarding from the router’s public IP to the Windows host on the proxy port(s).
    • Consider using a VPN for secure remote connections instead of exposing proxy ports.
  5. Optional: enable logging and bandwidth/account rules per user if desired.

1. Bypass Corporate Firewalls (With Permission)

Many offices block social media, YouTube, or streaming services on their Wi-Fi. If your Android phone connects to the office Wi-Fi, it is subject to those blocks. However, if you set up CCProxy on your Windows work PC (which might have different access rights) and connect your Android to it, you can potentially route your traffic through the PC’s unrestricted connection. (Note: Always check your company’s IT policy before doing this.)
