Whether you're accessing important content or simply browsing information, encountering access restrictions or slow performance on Tumblr can be highly frustrating—particularly in regions or networks where access is limited.
The good news is that you don’t have to remain blocked. Using a proxy allows you to bypass digital barriers, protect your privacy, and access Tumblr without any restrictions.
But how do you get started? Which proxy service should you trust? We’re going to walk you through exactly how to use a proxy with Tumblr, step by step—no fluff, just the essentials.

Step 1: Proxy Setup on Chrome

Want to access Tumblr quickly on Chrome? Use the proxy Chrome extension. It’s the easiest way to get your proxy working.
Log in: Click the proxy icon, log in, or create an account. You can even sign up with Google for speed.
Connect to a proxy: You’ll see a list of proxies with country flags. Pick one that fits your needs and hit “Connect.”
Now, open Tumblr. Your traffic flows through your chosen proxy, bypassing restrictions while keeping your identity safe.

Step 2: System-Wide Proxy on Windows

Using Tumblr apps or multiple browsers on your Windows PC? Set a system-wide proxy.
Open Proxy Settings: Press the Windows key, type “Proxy Settings,” and open it.
Manual Setup: Turn off “Automatically detect settings.” Scroll to Manual Proxy Setup, then click “Set up.”
Enter Proxy Info: Grab your proxy IP, port, username, and password. Input them carefully.
Save and test: Save changes. Open Tumblr or check your IP at “what is my IP” online. It should match your proxy’s IP.
Now, every app on your PC routes through the proxy.

Step 3: Proxy Setup on Android

On Android, the steps vary slightly by device, but here’s the gist:
Wi-Fi Settings: Open Settings > Wi-Fi > tap your network > Advanced Settings.
Manual Proxy: Under Proxy, select “Manual.”
Enter Proxy Details: Get your hostname, port, and credentials from Proxy List and enter them.
Authenticate: Use either username/password or IP whitelisting.
Done: Open Tumblr and enjoy unrestricted browsing.

Turning Off Your Proxy

Sometimes, you want your original connection back.
Chrome: Click the proxy icon > Disconnect. Done.
Windows: Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy > toggle “Use a proxy server” off > Save.
Android: Settings > Wi-Fi > your network > gear icon > Advanced > Proxy > switch to None > Save.

Final Thoughts

Blocks and slowdowns don’t have to interfere with your Tumblr experience. A proxy offers a smart way to bypass restrictions, safeguard your privacy, and keep your browsing smooth and uninterrupted.
