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:

Download LocalToNet WiFiSplit

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:

  1. Notification permission
    
  2. Permission to display over other apps
    
  3. 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
