Common questions

Short answers for the issues people hit most often during setup.

Do I need an invite code?

Only if your team or provider gave you one. If the Register form asks for it, enter the code you received before creating the account.

Why do I need battery and auto-start settings?

Android manufacturers often pause apps in the background to save power. Without these permissions, ProxyTool’s agent can go offline when you lock the phone.

Is the Claude login page safe?

Yes. ProxyTool opens authorization in a secure browser context (or your system browser). The login page is not loaded inside an embedded WebView.

The authentication code expired. What now?

On the Finish authorization screen, tap Reopen authorization page, sign in again, copy a new code, paste it, and tap Complete.

Can I bind more than one Claude account?

Yes. Each provider supports up to 3 bound accounts (shown as x/3 on the card). Tap + Bind again to add another.

Where do I manage or remove a binding?

Open Account → Third-party accounts. On a bound account you can Reauthorize, Edit note, or Delete.
