How To Use Simple Server With PC Apps like Bluestacks

It has been noticed after my last post on how to use simple server with mtn bis subscription that the trick doesn’t work with some applications such as bluestacks on pc.

But do you know there is a way out of that?

The way out is a PC software application : ProxyCap.

How to install and Configure ProxyCap

Firstly, Download and install ProxyCap HERE

We must then define 2 separate proxy servers: HTTP and HTTPS. First let's add the HTTP proxy.

Right click on the ProxyCap taskbar icon and choose Configuration. 

Click the Proxies category.

press the New button on the toolbar

Select HTTP from the Type drop down list.
Fill in the other settings.
Press the OK button.
 

Now let's create ProxyCap routing rules for BlueStacks. We will add 2 rules: one for the HTTP connections and the other for HTTPS.
Click the Rules category.

press the New button on the toolbar

In the Rule Action section, select the display name of the HTTP proxy server from the drop down list.
 

In the Program section, click Specify, then click the Browse button

Navigate to the BlueStacks program folder. It is located in Program Files on 32-bit Windows or in Program Files (x86) on 64-bit Windows.
Select HD-Network.exe.
Press the Open button.

In the Destination Port Range section, click Specify, then type 80 in the first port field.
In the Rule Name section, enter a display name for the rule.
Press the OK button.

Now add one more "redirect" rule for HD-Network.exe but with the following changes:
1. In place of the HTTP proxy, specify the HTTPS one.
2. In place of the port 80, specify 443.

Click OK to save the configuration.
You are done, run it and enjoy!
