In the field of information technology, a proxy is a server that acts as a intermediary for client requests looking for a resource on other servers. In short, it is an intermediary server between the user client and the web server. We typically use a proxy because school or our work requires it to be used. You can set up proxy on iPhone in a few simple steps.
Set up and use proxies on iPhone and iPad
Generally a proxy is used by users for mask your IP address, although in these cases it is recommended to use VPN.
Setting up a proxy on iPhone and iPad doesn't take long. Obviously we must have all the data of the proxy Server that we will need to configure it on our device.
- Let's go to the Settings;
- Let's select the section Wi-Fi;
- At this point we touch the network to which we are connected;
- Let's scroll down and select the item Configura proxy;
At this point we have to choose between two options:
- Manual: we choose this option when we have all the data of the Proxy Server.
- Automatic: choosing this option we will have to enter only theURL, that is the address of the Proxy Server and the configuration will take place automatically.
If we choose the option Manual, we will have to enter the address and port of the server. Also for some servers we will need to enter as well username e Password. We enable the voice Strong and enter the credentials.
To check that the proxy configuration has been successful, let's try to connect to any site with Safari. If the page loads correctly it means that we have correctly configured the proxy on our iPhone and iPad.
Conclusions
Setting up proxies on iPhone and iPad is very quick and easy. However, it is essential to pay attention to ensure that the data entered is correct.
