Android emulator network config

you can configure a proxy from the command line with the -http-proxy option when starting the emulator. In this case, you specify proxy information in in one of these formats:

http://<machineName>:<port>

or

http://<username>:<password>@<machineName>:<port>

The -http-proxy option forces the emulator to use the specified HTTP/HTTPS proxy for all outgoing TCP connections. Redirection for UDP is not currently supported.

Alternatively, you can define the environment variable http_proxy to the value you want to use for . In this case, you do not need to specify a value for in the -http-proxy command — the emulator checks the value of the http_proxy environment variable at startup and uses its value automatically, if defined.

You can use the -debug-proxy option to diagnose proxy connection problems.

There's no way to change the dns configs of the android emulator that can get hostnames instead of IP addresses, the only option to use proxy is explain on other SO threads here.

I am sure the packets are coming from instagram and/or maybe they use some firewall for security purpose.

It is not possible with emulator but you can use GENYMOTION for that. Genymotion is very good tool to use online emulator.

You can set proxy in setting->network.

try that .hope this will help you.
