[@non-functionalclub969]

Sure this will be done.

[@Dinho675]

best tutorial I spent almost 2 hours trying to find the reason that I couldn't install the certification. All tutorials that I had seen showed that I had to install the certification by clicking but nobody told me that I have to go to settings and install it manually.

[@non-functionalclub969]

[@dimensionteas4785]

Thank you for this video. My problem is that when I enter the host name and port on my phone, I immediately lost network connection in my phone while it is working fine on my laptop. I made sure to follow every step. Could you help me, please?

[@grant3787]

Same here

[@vishalgadwal3017]

Hi bro , in our apk that xml file is not there to add network security xml

[@gayatrivenkata6851]

Thanks for your video. I have a doubt here...I am testing ROKU apps with charles on the builds given by Devs. I just change the IP and port in the config file of the builds given by DEVs. I have never done all the above steps to see the contents. can I knwo the reason??

[@non-functionalclub969]

Yeah sometimes the app may be build on http protocol and it will let the details to be displayed on the Charles tool without certificate setup.

[@AryYuliantoo]

does it only work with my own app? I tried to modify a particular app but it's not working with SSL handshake.

[@non-functionalclub969]

@Ary: this should work with the applications modified as per steps given in the video. You can refer the official charles Proxy url for more details: www.charlesproxy.com/documentation/using-charles/ssl-certificates/

[@user-gq1eo8qd9v]

Not able to lanch the UI of charles proxy can you please provide a solution

[@ahmednaeem957]

Please share sample app for practice.

[@ssevents3525]

how do you stop all the background process and can see only one which you ran/executed? When I start recording it shows me too many other processes than what i was using... they must be running in background on my mobile but I am not able to stop them...

[@non-functionalclub969]

@SSEvents ideally the processes running in the background are due to the application which are running in background, you can use 2 ways for this scenario: 1. Set a filter of api name so that only those APIs will be visible. 2. Close all the running tasks by going to settings > applications - click on force stop. Hope this helps

[@annasonita1186]

Can we do the opposite way by using mobile device as a proxy and connect desktop pc with mobile?

[@non-functionalclub969]

@Anna I haven't tried it for any usecase... But this can be achieved in a way: Install a profile on ur phone or a vpn, enable Hot spot and then connect your PC to that hotspot (tither). Now all ur network will route through the Vpn or profile proxy which u may have set.

[@marcal208]

I am doing all correctly and when I configure the proxy in my device, the dialog to allow the connection is not appearing in my Charles. I have same wifi, IP address correctly, same charles version than the video. I need help, it doesn't have any sense

[@non-functionalclub969]

Hi Marcal If all the steps of proxy setup, certificate installation are done than once you give any call from device it will give a trust prompt on your pc/laptop

[@rushitvashrambhaipatel5234]

Hey Thanks for your video. I am using windows machine and with chrome browser whenever i turn on Charles Proxy i am getting Error For SSL handshake (The Red Error In the Charles Proxy) and Website does not open in the chrome browser. I would Really appreciate if you can help with this.

[@non-functionalclub969]

Hi Rushit You may need to add certificate in the chrome browser aswell. You can get the certificate from the same section as we saw for mobile device.

[@foodlovernandu7573]

Dor me all things are set, proper ip and port for proxy in mobile network, but it is not showing traffic on charles also on mobile net not working

[@non-functionalclub969]

Please recheck the IP once... Usually I tend to configure incorrect IP aswell

[@imbukwa]

Hi. Is there a way proxy can be enabled on Android 11? Because when I go to Network & Internet under settings, select the WiFi name and click advanced I don't see proxy?

[@non-functionalclub969]

Hi Wilfred, Proxy setup option is available for android 11 device aswell. Please let me know your device model I will send you steps for Proxy option screen

[@imbukwa]

@@non-functionalclub969 Nokia G21. I will be glad for your help. I have been trying to figure out ways of going around this issue but I am defeated.

[@non-functionalclub969]

The solution I am getting online is as follows: Please try below steps and again setup proxy, hope this works Nokia g21 System > Advanced > reset wifi setting

[@imbukwa]

@@non-functionalclub969 Thanks for this. I reset wifi setting but didn't work. But I have good news. This link solved the problem by showing where the Wifi Proxy setting is located. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oImwf4aXh7ebmLM

[@vikasbisht2192]

Hi nice video.which extension u r using for mobile view on desktop?thanks in advance.

[@vikasbisht2192]

lets view to install on both desktop and mobile.tell everything that matters.

[@non-functionalclub969]

Sure let me plan this video

[@HumanInSun]

Hi Bro, I downloaded and installed but could not open it, cursor load for 2 seconds and no response. please provide guidance.

[@non-functionalclub969]

@HumaninSun Please uninstall the application and it's files from your system... And reinstall it again..

[@RaviKumar-op4fr]

I have done all configurations, but wifi network is not working. If i open any app from mobile device it says "Something went wrong. please try again."

[@non-functionalclub969]

Please once check the IP which is configured on your PC/ Laptop... Mostly the issue you are facing comes when we have not configured the correct IP address in mobile device.

[@foodpanda139]

9:08 I'm using PC and my pc dont have wifi adapter, so how can i connect my phone to charles proxy without using wifi? is there another option?

[@non-functionalclub969]

Yeah once you can check the IP address of network, and the same can be used as static IP on Charles.

[@BegimaiAibekova-xs7mr]

Not always able to connect. And "allow" popup doesn't appears, what to do in that case? Thank you so much!

[@non-functionalclub969]

Usually the data cable causes the issue... Please try with another cable and it should work.

[@Sp3rickhj]

pls help the connection on android works, but apps recognise as my phone is offline, so some app do not allow to send request when identify the phone as offline

[@non-functionalclub969]

Hi, please increase the device sleep time to 30 minutes from the display settings. This will allow the device to be active and phone won't go offline.

[@Sp3rickhj]

​@@non-functionalclub969 ​thanks i fixed, for who have the same problem thats happen because some apps use the "SSL certificate appending" that prevent sniffing, so i removed it from apk of sniffed app with a python script avaiable on github from "ilya-kozyr ", "android-ssl-pinning-bypass"

[@non-functionalclub969]

Wonderful work buddy

[@grant3787]

It never connects when I set the proxy IP on my android device

[@non-functionalclub969]

@realtalk please check the machine IP and apply the same in the device as demoed in the video... Hope this helps

[@sahaabdeljalil4394]

I want to know how to activate it

[@non-functionalclub969]

So to activate we will have to purchase the premium version...

[@spoorthimanjunath6248]

How do we connect our phone to laptop ???

[@non-functionalclub969]

In the video I have tried to provide complete steps to connect mobile device to Charles proxy... Is there any other connection you are looking for ??

[@tarekali4u]

Hi, Hope you are well, I was wondering if you can help me, is there anyway I can email you with the problem I am facing? its relating to Charles.

[@non-functionalclub969]

@Tarek please mail your issue on [e-mail]

[@tarekali4u]

@Non-Functional Club email sent bro

[@Ithelastmastr]

hi sir can we catch instagram login request via this method? or is it blocked by instagram?

[@non-functionalclub969]

For now we cannot do it as we will need some code to be added in the application to get it trusted... Instagram is third party application and it does not trust Charles... So we cannot capture for such apps.

[@Ithelastmastr]

@@non-functionalclub969 when we can do it 😃

[@non-functionalclub969]

As per new OS we can only proxy any Android application if it is trusted by the application itself, for that we need to add the code while creating the apk file... What all steps needs to be added has been explained in the video...

[@itsreal2756]

Can you on the game- match master - hack with charles please ?

[@non-functionalclub969]

Live applications from Google Play Store won't be able to proxy using Charles... SSL for the newly build apps and OS are much more secure...

[@itsreal2756]

@@non-functionalclub969 I've seen a few videos that some of the server changes with proxy like json access all servers along with some games / match master but it should be well secured but you can change something if you try to push cash or maybe with gameguardian how that works would be great read several comments that want to see that
