How to set up proxy on iPhone

‍

This guide will demonstrate the process of setting up Webshare's Proxies for iPhone users. Please note that iOS only permits proxy servers on Wi-Fi network connections, and using proxies on cellular data is not possible.

‍

Step 1 — Get your proxy credentials

1. In your Webshare dashboard, open Proxy List.
2. In the top-right, set Connection Method to Backbone Connection. (This is important - the default "Direct Connection" view shows credentials in a different format that will not work with the steps below.)
3. You'll now see the proxy address p.webshare.io on port 80, and your username will have a number appended (e.g. abcdefg-1). Note down one username/password pair.

Step 2 — Configure Wi-Fi on your iPhone

1. Open Settings → Wi-Fi.
2. Tap the blue info icon (ⓘ) next to the network you're connected to (the one with the blue checkmark).
3. Scroll to HTTP Proxy and select Manual, then enter:
   • Server: p.webshare.io
   • Port: 80
   • Authentication: on
   • Username: your full username including the number (e.g. abcdefg-1)
   • Password: your proxy password from the dashboard
4. Tap Save in the top-right.

That's it - you're now using a Webshare proxy on your iPhone.
