I have a residential proxy located in the U.S. The problem is I can only use these on browsers supporting proxy.

What I want is to setup the proxy on my VPS and have my phone connect to it using wireguard.

Is this possible?

    This is not possible. A socks proxy forwards tcp connections over another TCP connection. A wireguard vpn sends encrypted generic IP packets over udp. A socks proxy can’t understand the types of things wireguard sends.

    However, you could just install wireguard on both your vps and your phone, and you probably wouldn’t even need the proxy. If your VPS is hosted by a big public cloud provider, be aware that many sites restrict incoming traffic from known up ranges because public cloud vms often used by spammers.
