# IPhone and IPad

Use this step-by-step guide to configure your 9Proxy Residential Proxy on an iOS device.

{% hint style="info" %}

### Important

* iOS only supports HTTP proxies over Wi-Fi networks.
* HTTPS and SOCKS5 are not supported, and proxies cannot be used on cellular (mobile) networks.
  {% endhint %}

The screenshots referenced were taken using iOS 16.1

## 1. Before You Begin

Make sure you’ve already generated a proxy session.

Not sure how? View the proxy setup guide [here](https://docs.9proxy.com/getting-started/residential-proxy-by-gb/proxy-generation).

## 2. Step-by-Step Configuration

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open Settings on your iPhone.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Tap Wi-Fi.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Locate your active Wi-Fi network and tap the blue “i” (info) icon next to it.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Scroll down and select Configure Proxy.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Choose Manual configuration.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Enter Your Proxy Details

<table><thead><tr><th width="199">Field</th><th>What to Enter</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Server</td><td>Your proxy IP address</td></tr><tr><td>Port</td><td>Your proxy port (e.g., 17521)</td></tr><tr><td>Authentication</td><td>Toggle ON</td></tr><tr><td>Username</td><td>Structured proxy string (see example below)</td></tr><tr><td>Password</td><td>Your sub-account password</td></tr></tbody></table>
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## 3. Here’s a sample setup using 9Proxy

* **Server**: 38.180.149.107
* **Port**: 17521
* **Authentication**: ON
* **Username**: useruser123-country-US-ssid-rhdN1907ma
* **Password**: X12345678

The username includes your proxy targeting settings like country, session ID, etc. For help creating your custom proxy username, refer to [this guide](https://docs.9proxy.com/getting-started/residential-proxy-by-gb/making-requests).

That’s it! Once saved, your iOS device will start routing internet traffic from this Wi-Fi connection through the proxy server you configured.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.9proxy.com/integrations/gb-based-residential-proxies/mobile-devices/iphone-and-ipad.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
