In this article, we described how to connect from Microsoft Windows 10 operating system using the SOCKS5 protocol and NekoBox utility.

Sometimes, access to corporate resources is required from a mobile phone. In this guide, we will describe how to connect to a corporate proxy server from an Android smartphone using the same NekoBox application.

Download the latest version of NekoBox for Android.

2. Launch and Configure the Application

Add the corporate proxy server by selecting the SOCKS5 protocol and entering the IP address, login, and password.

The application has a large number of additional settings.

3. Connection

4. Verification
