Setting up a proxy on your iPhone or iPad

Setting up a proxy on your iPhone or iPad can provide several benefits, including masking your IP address and changing your online location. It allows you to access restricted content and enhances your security by preventing direct requests from malware.

To configure proxy settings on a Wi-Fi network, follow these steps. Please note that the following screenshots were taken using iOS 16.1.

NOTE: iOS supports HTTP proxies only, so SOCKS5 proxies cannot be set up.

  1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone.
  1. Select Wi-Fi.
  1. Locate and tap on the blue information icon next to the Wi-Fi network that you are currently connected to (identified by a blue checkmark).
  1. Locate and tap on the blue information icon next to the Wi-Fi network that you are currently connected to (identified by a blue checkmark).
  1. Once you have selected the manual configuration, you will see the proxy server settings. Here, you need to enter the details and credentials for your proxy server.

NOTE: If you are using a whitelisted IP, you can keep the “Authentication” toggle switched off. However, if authentication is required, turn on the toggle to reveal the “Username” and “Password” fields. Enter the credentials of your DataImpulse sub-user. These credentials are the same as the ones you used when creating a new sub-user in the DataImpulse dashboard.

Residential Proxies
Server: gw.dataimpulse.com
Port: 823
Authentication: on
Username: DataImpulse user’s username
Password: DataImpulse user’s password

Here is an example of how your settings should appear if you are using a whitelisted Residential IP. In this case, the authentication setting should be toggled off.

  1. In the upper-right corner, click Save.
  1. Your proxy settings are now configured! To verify if your connection is successful, visit the IP-Api and check if your IP address has been replaced with that of the proxy. If you are unsure about your own IP address, check it before connecting to the proxy, and then compare the two.

Disabling the proxy server on your iPhone or iPad:

If you have configured a proxy server on your iOS device, it will attempt to route all your connection requests through that proxy. However, certain applications have automatic proxy detection and may not allow the connection. In such cases, you will need to disable the proxy server.

To turn off the proxy server connection, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Settings app on your device.
  2. Tap on Wi-Fi.
  3. Select the network you are currently connected to.
  4. Scroll down and choose “Configure Proxy.”
  5. Tap on “Off” to disable the proxy server.

By following these steps, you can easily disable the proxy server connection on your iPhone or iPad.
