Wi-Fi Split in LocalToNet: A Boosted Proxy Experience
The Power of Wi-Fi Split
The Wi-Fi Split feature in LocalToNet can substantially elevate your proxy speed. When accessing a site via Mobile Internet, this feature optimizes both your download and upload speeds. Typically, your proxy speed is as fast as your upload speed. But with Wi-Fi Split, this constraint can be bypassed.
Without Wi-Fi Split
If Wi-Fi Split is turned off and your mobile download speed is 20 Mbps with an upload speed of 3 Mbps, you might load sites at 20 Mbps. However, data is relayed to the LocalToNet Relay Server at just 3 Mbps. This means your proxy speed is capped at 3 Mbps.
With Wi-Fi Split
When Wi-Fi Split is activated, data is sent to the LocalToNet Relay Server via your home Wi-Fi. Often, home Wi-Fi connections have faster upload rates than mobile internet, allowing your proxy speed to exceed the upload rate of the mobile internet.
How to Enable Wi-Fi Split?
Navigate to "Settings" → "About Phone" and tap on "Build Number" multiple times to unlock "Developer Options."
Inside Developer Options, activate the “Mobile data always active” option. (Note: This option's name might vary depending on your Android model.)
Turn on Wi-Fi on your phone.
On proxy Settings, activate the Wi-Fi Split feature.
Download Required App
To use the Wi-Fi Split feature, you must install the LocalToNet WiFiSplit companion app. You can download it from the following link:
Additional Notes
On rooted devices, Wi-Fi Split is automatically installed when enabled from the settings.
However, you must grant the necessary permissions for it to work correctly:
-
Notification permission
-
Permission to display over other apps
-
Battery optimization exclusion
Conclusion
With the Wi-Fi Split feature, you can optimize your proxy speed for a smoother internet journey. Activating this feature is straightforward and definitely worth a try!

There is a problem with wifi-split since yesterday (03.05.2025). Do you guys aware of it?
There doesn't seem to be any problem. Did you download the wifi split application separately?
I downloaded it, gave the permission also yet it still fails to connect to the proxy
It doesn't show ip also.
It has been solved, you can download the wifi split app again and try it.
