iOS

This guide covers how to set up a proxy on Wi-Fi for iPhone and iPad.

Requirements

Before getting started, ensure that:

  • No other VPN or proxies are active.

  • You have your GoProxies endpoint ready, e.g. proxy.goproxies.com:1080

  • Your GoProxies subuser (also called API User) username and password.

Wi-Fi Setup

This method only works with browsers. Apps won't route through the proxy this way. iOS also only supports HTTP proxies on Wi-Fi.

  1. Make sure you're connected to a Wi-Fi network and open Settings.

  2. Tap Wi-Fi and select your connected network.

  3. Scroll down to the HTTP Proxy section and tap Configure Proxy.

  4. Switch to Manual.

  5. Fill in the following:

    • Server: proxy.goproxies.com

    • Port: 1080

  6. Enable Authentication and enter your credentials:

    • Username: customer-your_username_here

    • Password: your proxy password

If you're using IP whitelisting, you can skip the authentication step entirely.

  1. Tap Save.

  2. If a pop-up appears asking for credentials, tap Settings and re-enter your proxy authentication details.

Verify the Connection

Open a browser and go to ip.goproxies.comarrow-up-right. If the IP shown reflects your proxy location, you're all set.

Disable the Proxy

To turn the proxy off, go back to Configure Proxy, select Off, and tap Save.
