NekoBox Chain Proxy Guide (Android)

If you already have a working overseas network environment, follow the "Configure NekoBox" section. If you do not, follow the "Chain Proxy" section first.

006ip provides residential proxy infrastructure for businesses, developers, and cross-border teams, including dynamic residential IPs and static residential IPs. The platform supports country/region and city-level targeting, plus dashboard options such as IP allowlists, authentication methods, and location modes—suitable for compliant data collection, localized page testing, price monitoring, ad verification, and maintaining cross-border business environments.

Static residential IPs offer long-lived fixed egress addresses and are a better fit when you need continuity and connection stability. This guide walks through registration, trial traffic, purchasing, exporting credentials, and configuring proxies in NekoBox (Android).

2. Claim trial traffic

006ip currently offers a new-user trial: contact support to receive 1GB trial traffic for free. Eligibility, available products, and validity follow the campaign page and support reply.

Use trial traffic first to validate target regions, protocol compatibility, and business connectivity before choosing a paid plan.

3. Purchase static residential proxies

After signing in to the 006ip dashboard, open Static Proxies in the left sidebar, then choose ISP Proxies or Datacenter Proxies to enter the purchase page.

Step 1: Choose a purchase mode and set proxy attributes

The purchase page provides Quick Configuration and Custom Configuration. Both modes calculate pricing in real time based on your selections, but they fit different needs.

(1) Quick Configuration

Quick Configuration is for users who want platform default network settings and a fast checkout. Configure:

ParameterDescription
Access TypeChoose Dedicated or Shared. Dedicated IPs suit stricter purity, stability, and isolation needs; Shared IPs suit cost-sensitive general access
Country / region and cityTarget by country/region and city, or choose a random range for country-wide distribution
PeriodPlans from 30–365 days; longer terms may include tiered discounts. Final pricing follows the purchase page
Fixed configurationConnections (QPS), Bandwidth, and UDP use the default values shown on the page

Step 2: Confirm the order and pay

On the checkout page, selected IP inventory is locked for 15 minutes. If payment is not completed in time, resources are released and you must place the order again.

Supported payment methods include:

  • Account balance
  • Online payment
  • Balance + online combined payment

If balance is insufficient, the available balance is applied first and the remainder can be paid online. Balance payments require your 006ip payment password. Available online channels and currencies follow the checkout page.

4. View and export proxy connection details

After payment succeeds, open My IPs to view purchased static IPs. The list shows bandwidth, QPS, UDP status, expiry, and resource state, and supports renew, disable, enable, and details.

006ip My IPs list

Before configuring NekoBox, export these four connection fields:

  • Proxy IP address
  • Port
  • Username
  • Password

On My IPs, click Export Credentials in the top-right corner and choose a format that fits your client. NekoBox can use:

IP:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD

Exported files contain plaintext credentials. Store the file securely and do not share credentials via public chats, screenshots, or untrusted channels.

006ip export credentials

For purchase, renewal, and export details, see the 006ip Static Proxy User Guide and the latest prompts in the dashboard.

Configure NekoBox

This section is written for NekoBox. NekoBox is a proxy client with a simple UI and support for SOCKS5 / HTTP and other protocols, making it convenient for residential proxy setup. Steps below are for Android.

Complete the purchase flow above, have your proxy server address, port, username, and password ready, and install NekoBox on your Android device.

1. Prepare proxy connection details

Confirm you have:

  • Proxy server address
  • Port
  • Username
  • Password

2. Add a 006ip proxy node

Open NekoBox and follow these steps:

① Tap the add button in the top-right

On the NekoBox home screen, tap the file icon with + in the top-right to open the node type menu.

Tap the add button in the top-right of NekoBox

② Choose the proxy protocol

In the list, select the protocol that matches the credentials you exported from 006ip. Screenshots in this guide use HTTP, so tap HTTP.

Select HTTP in the node type menu

Protocol must match the 006ip export: choose HTTP for HTTP proxies, or SOCKS for SOCKS5. A mismatched protocol will prevent the node from connecting.

③ Fill in server settings

On the Server configuration page:

FieldValue
Profile nameproxy1 or any recognizable name
ServerYour proxy server address
Server portYour port (e.g. 7778)
Username (optional)Your proxy username
Password (optional)Your proxy password

006ip static residential proxies usually require username/password authentication, so fill both fields even if marked optional. Keep other options at defaults; unless required, leave Transport encryption and Multiplexing off.

When finished, tap in the top-right to save the node.

Fill HTTP server address, port, and credentials

3. Start the node and establish the VPN connection

After saving, the node appears on the NekoBox home screen. Tap it so a pink selection marker appears on the left, then tap the paper-plane button at the bottom center to connect.

On first start, Android may prompt for VPN permission—tap OK or Allow. After a successful connection:

  • A VPN indicator appears in the status bar
  • Latency appears next to the node (e.g. 292ms)
  • The bottom of the screen shows Connected and handshake time
  • The paper-plane button shows the connected state

Start the node and confirm connection success

Open a browser and visit https://ipinfo.io or another IP lookup site. If the IP and region match your purchased proxy, configuration succeeded.

Check proxy egress IP

If the check shows your local IP:

  1. Confirm NekoBox shows Connected and the status bar has a VPN indicator
  2. Confirm the selected node is the 006ip node you just added
  3. Confirm address, port, username, and password match the exported credentials exactly
  4. Confirm protocol type (SOCKS / HTTP) matches the dashboard
  5. Confirm you allowed the Android VPN connection request

4. Add or switch multiple nodes (optional)

If you exported multiple 006ip accounts, repeat the steps above for each one. Use distinct names such as proxy0 and proxy1 for easier identification.

Add a second HTTP proxy node

To switch nodes, disconnect the current connection first, tap the target node on the home screen until the pink selection marker appears, then tap the paper-plane button again to start.

Chain Proxy

If your current network cannot directly reach the target-country proxy server, configure a chain proxy in NekoBox: first build a path through a reachable overseas upstream proxy, then connect to the downstream target-country proxy.

Path order:

Local device → Upstream proxy (overseas node) → Downstream proxy (target country/region) → Target website

For example, use a Hong Kong node as upstream and a US static residential node as downstream. After configuration, websites should see the downstream US IP as the final egress, not your local public IP and not the upstream HK IP.

1. Prepare two proxy node credentials

Prepare address, port, username, and password for both:

Node rolePurposeExample name
Upstream proxyFirst hop that must be reachable in your current networkproxy0
Downstream proxyTarget country/region node and final business egressproxy1

Use a low-latency stable upstream node close to your location. Choose the downstream country/region based on business requirements.

This section uses two HTTP nodes as examples. If your nodes use SOCKS5, choose the SOCKS type and ensure the protocol matches provider details.

2. Add the upstream and downstream proxies

Follow the earlier Add a 006ip proxy node steps to create upstream proxy0 and downstream proxy1. Fill each node’s server address, port, username, and password, then tap to save.

After saving, both nodes should appear on the home screen. Optionally select and start each node separately first to confirm address, port, protocol, and credentials.

The upstream proxy is hop 1 of the full chain. If it fails or has high latency, the downstream proxy will also fail. Confirm the upstream works in your current network first.

3. Create the chain proxy

On the NekoBox home screen, tap the file icon with + in the top-right, scroll the type list, and choose Chain Proxy.

Select Chain Proxy in the add menu

On the Chain settings page:

  1. Set Profile name to chain proxy or another recognizable name
  2. Tap Add server configuration
  3. Add the upstream and downstream proxies to the chain in order
  4. Confirm the list order is proxy0 → proxy1 (upstream above, downstream below)
  5. Tap in the top-right to save

Add two nodes and set chain proxy order

Arrange the chain as upstream → downstream, with the downstream node as the final egress. Names like proxy0 and proxy1 are examples only—follow the actual roles you created. Reversing order may cause a wrong egress IP or connection failures.

4. Start the chain proxy

Back on the home screen, tap the chain proxy entry until the pink selection marker appears, then tap the paper-plane button at the bottom center to connect.

After a successful connection, latency appears next to chain proxy, the bottom shows Connected, and a VPN indicator appears in the status bar.

Select and start the chain proxy

Start the chain proxy entry itself, not proxy0 or proxy1 individually. NekoBox routes through both nodes in the configured order.

5. Verify final egress IP

Open a browser and visit https://ipinfo.io or another trusted IP lookup site. Verify:

  • The IP matches the downstream proxy IP
  • The country/region matches your purchased target route
  • The result is neither your local public IP nor the upstream egress IP

Chain proxy egress IP check example

If the result shows the downstream target IP, the chain is configured correctly. Slightly higher latency than single-hop mode is normal.

6. Common troubleshooting

SymptomWhat to check
Chain cannot startRe-check both nodes’ address, port, protocol, username, and password; test the upstream node first
Downstream keeps timing outConfirm the upstream works in your current network; try a lower-latency, more stable overseas upstream
Result shows upstream IPCheck whether the downstream is missing from the chain list, or whether order is reversed; correct order is upstream → downstream
Result still shows local public IPConfirm chain proxy is selected and started, VPN permission is granted, and the status bar shows VPN
Connected but slowChain adds one extra hop; use a nearer/lower-latency upstream and avoid unnecessary proxy layers

Button names, positions, and VPN prompts may differ slightly by NekoBox version or Android system. Follow your current client UI. Use proxies only for legal/compliant scenarios and follow website terms and local laws.
