Manually configure a proxy on my iPhone via Wi-Fi settings

If you'd rather not install a third-party app, you can configure a proxy directly in iOS:

  1. Open Settings → Wi-Fi.

  2. Tap the ⓘ next to your connected network.

  3. Scroll down to Configure Proxy and tap Manual.

  4. Enter the Server (your proxy's hostname) and Port.

  5. If your proxy uses username/password authentication, toggle Authentication on and enter your credentials — unlike Android, iOS's native Wi-Fi settings do support this.

  6. Tap Save.

  7. Visit any website to confirm the proxy is active.

This method only applies to the Wi-Fi network you configure it on — it won't carry over to cellular data or other networks.

You can use this IOS App (Potatso):


Here is how you can set up a proxy:

After you can select HTTP, SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 "Type"

Enter proxy details and hit "Save":


Don't forget to turn it on:
