Key facts
How to use a proxy
Free Fire has no proxy field. Add a SOCKS5 proxy with UDP relay to v2rayNG (Android) or Shadowrocket (iPhone) and route the game through it.
Account region
An existing account stays on the server region it was created on, and a proxy does not move it. Only Garena support can move an account, and it rarely does.
Two apps, one account
Free Fire and Free Fire MAX are separate apps with a shared account and shared servers. Set the proxy for the one you actually open.
India
India blocked the original Free Fire app in February 2022 under Section 69A of the IT Act. Free Fire MAX is still on Google Play in India, and Indian players don't need a proxy to install or play it.
Which connection method carries Free Fire traffic
Login goes over TCP and matches go over UDP. Whatever method you use has to relay both.
| Name | Works In | Auth | Blocking Resistance | Best For | Where To Get |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SOCKS5 with UDP relay in a tunnel app | Login, lobby and matches: v2rayNG on Android, Shadowrocket on iPhone and iPad | Username and password | Medium: a network filter can recognize the plain SOCKS5 handshake | Playing on a network that blocks Free Fire, or keeping one fixed IP for your account | Geonode residential proxies |
| SOCKS5 with TCP only | Login, lobby and store. Depending on the app, matches either fail to load or skip the proxy | Username and password, or none | Medium | Checking that the host, port and login connect | Geonode free proxy list (SOCKS5), Geonode ISP or datacenter proxies |
| Wi-Fi HTTP proxy | The browser and other apps that read the system proxy. Free Fire sends match traffic around it | Android has no login fields, so only proxies without a password work. iPhone has an Authentication toggle with Username and Password | Low | Top-up pages and IP checks in a browser | Geonode residential, ISP or datacenter proxies; Geonode free list (HTTP) |
Which proxy type to use with Free Fire
Pick a proxy country inside your account's server region or next to it. Every millisecond between you and a distant exit gets added to your ping.

How to set up a proxy for Free Fire
The tunnel app sends only the game through the proxy, so the rest of the phone keeps its normal connection.
Install v2rayNG from Google Play or from github.com/2dust/v2rayNG.
Tap + on the main screen and choose Add [SOCKS].
Enter a name in remarks, proxy.geonode.io in address and 12000 in port.
In User (optional), type your Geonode username with -requireUdp-true at the end. Put your password in Password (optional).
Tap the check icon to save the profile.
Open the side menu and tap Per-app settings. Turn on Enable per-app, then tick Free Fire or Free Fire MAX.
Back on the main screen, select the profile, tap the play button and accept the VPN request.
How to check that the proxy works
In v2rayNG, tap the status line at the bottom of the main screen. If the proxy works, it shows Connection succeeded and a time in milliseconds.
Android: if you ticked only Free Fire in Per-app settings, the browser won't use the proxy. Tick Chrome there as well, open Geonode's What is my IP page to see the proxy's IP and country, then untick Chrome.
iPhone and iPad: with Global Routing set to Proxy, all traffic goes through the tunnel. Open Geonode's What is my IP page in Safari and you should see the proxy's IP and country.
Start a Clash Squad match. If it loads with the tunnel off and hangs with it on, UDP isn't getting through.
How to turn the proxy off
v2rayNG: tap the stop button on the main screen.
Shadowrocket: turn off the connection switch on the Home screen.
Common Free Fire proxy problems and fixes
Login and lobby work, but a match never starts
- The proxy relays TCP but not UDP
- Switch to the residential SOCKS5 gateway on port 12000 and add -requireUdp-true to the username.
CauseFixThe game shows a network error before login
- The tunnel is on but the proxy is unreachable or the login is wrong
- Turn the tunnel off and check that Free Fire connects without it. Then re-enter the host, port, username and password, and test them in the Geonode proxy checker.
CauseFixPing jumps to several hundred milliseconds
- The proxy exit sits far from your account's server region
- Use the country targeting username format to pick a proxy country near that region. If ping stays high, play without the proxy.
CauseFixYou get kicked out in the middle of a match
- A rotating session changed the IP, or the phone switched between Wi-Fi and mobile data
- Use a sticky session that lasts longer than you plan to play, and don't switch networks mid-game.

Free Fire proxy FAQ
It is a server that relays your Free Fire traffic, so Garena sees the proxy's IP instead of yours. The game has no proxy field. You enter the proxy in a tunnel app such as v2rayNG or Shadowrocket, and it has to relay UDP or matches won't load.
Garena doesn't run a VIP proxy server. Apps and APK files sold under that name come from third parties. Garena's anti-hack rules count unauthorized third-party programs and modified clients as cheating, and accounts get banned for it. The only official pre-release server is Garena's Advance Server, which needs an activation code.
No. Paid items, diamonds and locked events are stored on Garena's servers and tied to your account, so a proxy can't get you them for free. Offers of unlimited access are scams or hacks.
Not for an existing account. It stays on the server region it was created on, whatever IP you connect from. A new account created through a proxy may end up in the proxy's region.
Garena's Terms of Service don't mention proxies or VPNs. They do let Garena suspend accounts for suspected fraud, account sharing or account trading, and terminate accounts at its discretion. The ToS also forbids using multiple accounts in one game (clause 4.2). Logins from lots of different IPs can look like account sharing, so keep one sticky IP for your account.
Usually not. A proxy adds a hop between your phone and the game server. Ping only goes down if your own provider has a bad route to that server and the proxy's route is shorter.
The Geonode free proxy list has HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies you can use to test a setup. Few public proxies relay UDP, though, so a Free Fire match through one rarely loads.
