Fix Error Solution #4: Android Issue
That means if you’re trying to use a proxy service on a mobile device running Android, you’re stuck with chrome, so you won’t be able to use a different browser unless you have a device with an alternative installed. Also, despite being chrome, the chrome://chrome/settings URL doesn’t exist. If you’re encountering the error on mobile Chrome, try these steps:
- Updating your version of Google Chrome. You need to go to the Play Store on an Android device and swipe over to the “my apps” tab, and then install any updates that are available for the Chrome app.
- Opening a new incognito tab to do your browsing there. If your issue was caused by the data being passed or a data mismatch, as mentioned in the IP authentication section, incognito should solve it by not passing as much data along. Note that if this solves the problem, you may have a Chrome extension affecting your ability to connect.
- Clear your mobile browser cache and cookies. Yes, this is a step you should do even on mobile devices.
- Clear your profile. This is sort of a nuclear option but can remove any data hampering your ability to browse via proxy. Go to your settings, app settings, and chrome settings. Once there, clear your app data. This will remove your profile, clear your local state, and reset any errant flags. Be aware that you may have to log in, input data, open old tabs, and generally restore your sessions manually.
