Funamo Advanced Mode with manual proxy settings:


For Android 2.3 or earlier (how to find out Android version)


If you would like to use the default browser or third party browsers such as Chrome, Dolphin and Skyfire (Opera and Firefox Mobile browsers do not use the system proxy and you need to set up the proxy within the browser. See FAQ for more info), you can manually setup network proxies at the system level. Please note that you would need to set proxy for each network connection separately. The setup process for system proxies differs based on the device models, Android versions and carriers.


  1. Download and install Funamo Parental Control
  2. Start Funamo Parental Control, sign up and follow the setup wizard to register your device with Funamo server (Note: Initial sync does take some time to upload information to the server particularly if you have many apps installed or many contacts stored on your device. It is also slower if you are on a 3G mobile network than on a WiFi network. If you have problem with it, please try to sync again and if necessary you can click "Start Over" button to re-register your device.)
  3. Configure the settings for Internet filtering, Protected apps, Time-limited apps and school time setup.
  4. Set WiFi and mobile network proxy to Host: 127.0.0.1 and Port: 8998 following instructions below.
  5. Click Start Funamo to enable Funamo parental protection. If you already enalbed Funamo before setting proxy, please disable it first by click Stop Funamo, then click Start Funamo to enable it again.
