I am trying to set charles proxy on Android 8.0( S8 ). I have installed the root certificate-> Changed WIFI settings to charles proxy settings. But After connecting to proxy, Internet connection is lost. Tried multiple times. Is there any other security certificate I need to install for Android 8.0. Please suggest. Thanks
The sequence of steps is really important:
Connect the Android device and the computer that running Charles to the same LAN (WiFi) network
Start Charles
Then set the Charles machine LAN IP as manual proxy on your phone. Open the list of Wifi connections, then touch and hold the connected network, and select Modify network.
Proxy: Manual
Proxy hostname: Open the Help > Local IP Address menu in Charles and paste into it the address displayed
Proxy port: 8888 (This is the default value that can be changed in the Proxy > Proxy Settings menu.)
Open a browser on your phone and make some network traffic
After that you have to click into the Charles app window. You will see a confirmation dialog that asking you to allow network traffic from the mobile device, press Allow.
After all, open the https://chls.pro/ssl URL on your device and install the .pem file for VPN and apps (Use Chrome browser on Android, and Safari for iOS devices.)
Troubleshooting
When Charles is the background, the confirmation dialog will not be visible automatically, you have to activate (bring back to the foreground) the Charles application window to see it.
To check the device connection permission, go to Proxy > Access Control Settings. You should also see its LAN IP on the list.
To getting your Android phone LAN IP address open the Dialer and enter: *#*#4636#*#*, then select Wi-Fi information > WiFi status and refresh stats.
If anyone who is still looking for answer then try these steps. It worked for me ☺️
When you enter proxy, there will be one more option that is "Bypass for" in this field enter * as value, and thnx me later.

edit: I found my answer
I already know that if I would have a smartphone with an internet connection, I can share the connection through the Every Proxy app. This app allows to have an http proxy, and when you share your internet through usb cable, you can enter the proxy that the app has given, on windows. It's actually more helpful if you want to share your vpn connection.
I want to do the same, but in nox. I turn on my vpn and install Every Proxy on nox. The IP address the app give is 172.16.24.15. but trying this in windows; has no result.
I also used Fing to see my simulator IP address and it is 172.16.25.2 for the simulator router and 172.16.25.15 for the android itself.
in the system settings of nox > device > enable network bridge mode > DHCP, I get the IP address 192.168.1.3. now when I turn on Every Proxy, I set the IP address 192.168.1.3 instead of the previous 172.16.24.15. so I can use this new IP in windows settings and it works.
my app is sending some http request, and I want during test step to get all requests and responses.
In browser I was used BrowserMobProxy to get all responses but it's look like it's work just on browser.
Is some one know how can I get responses from app in test step ?
You can re-route all connections through a proxy running on your development PC.
Note that I assume that you have a local Wifi router and a local network both your computer and the Android phone are connected to.
All you need is that the IP of your development PC is accessible from the Android phone you use for app testing.
On the PC install a inspection proxy like Fiddler (Windows), Burp Suite (Java) or Charles proxy (OSX).
By default most proxies only listen on localhost connection, but they can be configured to accept connections from other computers (or in this case an Android phone).
For Fiddler you find it in menu Tools -> Fiddler Options -> Tab Connections -> Allow remote computers to connect.
Configure it accordingly and then change the Wifi setting on the Android phone for the used Wifi network.
Enable the manual proxy configuration and enter your computer's IP address in your local network and the port number the proxy is listening on.
After saving the new Wifi settings all apps on the Android phone should use the proxy on your PC, which will allow you to see also the traffic of your app.
I've connected my Android device to my PC wi-fi using an application called Connectify , which make it easier to browse the internet using PC'S internet connection , when I did make connection to a web server using my android device , Fiddler didn't capture the traffic .
I am using windows 7
Routing my Android Wi-Fi connection to a proxy doesn't work , my router redirects all requests from local network to the Log in page to the router settings
To monitor the network traffic of an Android device using fiddler
Open Fiddler on your pc
Go to Tools >Fiddler Options >Connections. Make sure 'Allow remote computers to connect' is checked'.
In your android device, go to your wifi settings, long press on your current Wifi and click on 'Modify network'
Click 'Advanced Options' and set proxy to manual.
Under 'proxy hostname', enter the local IP of your computer.Under 'proxy port', type '8888' (this is the default port that fiddler listens on)
Now, you should be able to see the Android network traffic on your fiddler.
Hope this helps :)
First of all, do not use the Connectify. Uninstall it.
Follow the exact instructions on the fiddler documentation. It has screenshots for setting up the proxy and everything.
Make sure that your PC shares its internet connection when you first connect it to your wifi network.
Do not attempt this at a coffee shop or in an hotel, where wifi isolation is often practiced as a security measure.
It goes without saying, do not forget to turn off the mobile data of your android device.
I have my device connected to debug Android apps, but I need to see the HTTP requests and responses (inc. header info).
I've seen a similar question asked on how to do this for an emulator, but how to do this when a real device is connected?
You can use Charles, is a really powerful tool that does exactly what you need.
Charles allows you to sniff the packets sent through HTTP from your actual device, the way you use it is simple:
Download and install Charles, run the program and specify the proxy port
Connect the Android Device to the very same network of the computer running Charles
Go to Wifi-Settings in Android Device and long tap on the network connected, then go to Modify Network-> Show advanced Options
Set Proxy as Manual and in Proxy Host name set your computer IP "192.xxx.x.x" and in the Proxy port add the same port specified in Charles Proxy Settings.
And that's it, all the traffic from your phone will be proxy to charles and it will show you headers, parameters, etc...
Hope it Helps
Regards!
I want to look at trafiic on Android Emulator in Eclipse through Fiddler.
Capturing on all processes is still missing non-browser trafiic. My Emulator Android have proxy setted to my local machine but i see ony Browser traffic.
You may have gone through these same steps, but here is what I did to get it to work. I pieced together info from different sites including Fiddler2.com:
In Fiddler, click Tools / Fiddler Options / Connections and ensure that the box Allow remote computers to connect is checked. (Restart Fiddler if this box wasn't already checked .)
Then Note the IP Address of the Fiddler PC; you can see this by hovering over the icon in Fiddler's toolbar: (it's just the IP of your pc):
Then on the emulator go to Setting->Wireless&Networks->Mobile Networks -> AccessPointNames. I used the existing APN (T-Mobile US) and just changed the Proxy and Port.
Proxy is just the IP from previous step (I did not need to enter http://)
Port is 8888
Restart the emulator and you should see your app traffic in Fiddler.
