Do you have an old, unwanted phone? Then you have a unique opportunity to turn your useless Android device into a useful ByeDPI server, which will allow you to access blocked resources, such as watching YouTube at normal speed, etc. In short, we will essentially have a kind of VPN server, only much faster and free.
1. Let's start by preparing the mobile phone. Turn on the phone and connect to our Wi-Fi. Move it to GitHub , download the latest version of ByeDPI for Android, and install it.
2. Open the application and go to settings. There, select "Proxy", enable the "Use command line" option, and in the "Listening IP" field, enter 0.0.0.0. You can leave the default port (1080) or change it to your desired one. Go to the "Command selection" section and click "Start test". The application will begin testing various sets of arguments, so we will see lines with parameters and the percentage of successful requests.
3. Wait for the check to complete. Select the argument set with 100% successful requests and copy it. Return to the "Command Line Editor" and delete the existing arguments. Paste the copied argument set there and click "OK." On the app's main screen, click "Start" to launch the proxy. Hooray, our proxy server is running!
4. To use the proxy, you need to find the smartphone's local IP address within our network. Connect the smartphone to the router via Wi-Fi and open the router's web interface (for example, for Keenetic routers, this is usually 192.168.1.1; Google your device). Log in to the router's control panel and navigate to "My Networks" -> "Client List" (the path may vary depending on the router model). Find your smartphone in the list of devices; its IP address will be shown next to it (for example, 192.168.1.127). Write it down and save it.
5. Now let's set up a proxy on your computer or other device.
For a browser:
Install any convenient proxy management extension (I like Proxy Switcher) or configure it manually in the browser settings. Specify the following parameters:
IP address - the IP address of your smartphone (for example, 192.168.1.127);
Port: 1080 (or the one you specified in the settings);
Proxy type: SOCKS5;
Click "Apply". Check if YouTube or Rutracker opens. If everything works fine, then great.
For games:
Use the Proxifier program or register a proxy in Windows. Specify the same parameters there as above.
That's it! We just turned an old smartphone into a powerful tool for working with DPI.
