Keep reading this article to find out how to configure your iOS device (iPad and iPhone) to work with a proxy server. It is no longer news that many iOS users are not aware that their device has the capabilities of using proxies; they think proxies are for PCs while VPNs are for smartphones. However, it turns out that you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/private-proxies-vpn-simultaneously\/\">both proxies and VPNs<\/a> on your mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is important I stress here that except you already have a proxy at hand and do not want to incur the extra cost of paying for a VPN, you are better off using VPN on mobile as it is the tool for privacy concerned individuals. In the absence of a VPN, proxies would work. There are a few methods you can use to get proxies configured on your iOS device. These methods are discussed below.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-set-up-a-proxy-server-on-an-iphone-or-ipad-for-wi-fi-network\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Set_up_a_Proxy_Server_on_an_iPhone_or_iPad_for_Wi-Fi_Network\"><\/span><strong>How to Set up a Proxy Server on an iPhone or iPad for Wi-Fi Network <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A good number of people connect to the Internet through public Wi-Fi at school, Caf\u00e9, or even in the workplace.

However, before you are able to use it, you have to have access to a Mac computer. This is because the Apple Configurator is available only for Mac computers and downloadable from the Mac App Store. For you to use Global HTTP Proxy settings, you need to enroll your device via USB cable into the Supervised mode. Just know that doing this will wipe your phone and, as such, have a backup for important documents before embarking on this. After the enrolment, you can then install a profile with a Global HTTP Proxy setting.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"custom-write-xml-based-profile\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Custom_Write_XML-based_Profile\"><\/span><strong>Custom Write XML-based Profile<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3529 perfmatters-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/XML-based-Profile.png.webp 850w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20850%20683'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20850%20683'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"XML-based Profile\" width=\"850\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/XML-based-Profile.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/XML-based-Profile.png 850w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/XML-based-Profile-300x241.png 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/XML-based-Profile-768x617.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3529\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/XML-based-Profile.png.webp 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/XML-based-Profile.png\" alt=\"XML-based Profile\" width=\"850\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/XML-based-Profile.png 850w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/XML-based-Profile-300x241.png 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/XML-based-Profile-768x617.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>The truth is, I do not advise non-techies to go this route.
