Create an Android Proxy Settings Policy

The Android Proxy Settings Policy ensures that all HTTP and HTTPS network traffic is passed through it exclusively. This ensures data security since all personal and corporate data is filtered through the policy.

Prerequisites

• JumpCloud’s Android EMM is configured for your organization. See Set Up Android EMM.
• Your Android devices are enrolled in EMM. See Add and Manage Android Devices and Users: Enroll Your Personal Android Device.
• Applicable to devices on Android 7.0 or later.

Considerations

• Double-check these settings before applying them to any devices. If you apply an incorrect proxy setting, your device may lose network connection and get into an unusable state.
• This policy is supported for the following management modes:
  • Work Profile (Personal device)
  • Work Profile (Company-owned device)
  • Fully managed device
  • Dedicated device

To create an Android Proxy Settings policy:

1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal. 
2. Go to DEVICE MANAGEMENT > Policy Management.

7. (Optional) For Policy Notes, enter details like when you created the policy, where you tested it, and where you deployed it.
8. Under Settings, select the Proxy Type.
   • Host: For a direct proxy, set the Host and Port.

   • Click Add Host to add additional exclusions.
   • Click the trash icon to remove an exclusion.
