Use an HTTP Proxy on iPhone Wi-Fi
Enter a proxy IP and port in an iPhone's Wi-Fi settings, check the result, and remove the manual proxy afterward.
Open Settings → Wi-Fi → the information button beside the connected network → Configure Proxy (also labelled HTTP Proxy). Note the existing mode, select Manual and enter the endpoint:
| Field | Value for an example HTTP entry |
|---|---|
| Server | 203.0.113.10 |
| Port | 8080 |
| Authentication | Use only the proxy account the operator supplied. |
Replace the documentation address with your live HTTP proxy, or a candidate from the HTTP proxy list, and save. The entry must be HTTP-compatible; these fields do not turn SOCKS into HTTP. An entry with no supplied credentials has no default username/password to guess.
Make a fresh IP-check request in the browser and compare it with the result before the change. Test an HTTPS destination too, since the proxy must permit its tunnel. If loading fails, recheck IP, port and protocol, then compare a second suitable endpoint.
When finished, return to the same network's Configure Proxy setting and restore its previous mode, or choose Off if it was previously off. Reload the check page.
Which address changed?
The proxy affects supported HTTP traffic on this Wi-Fi connection. It does not automatically cover mobile data, another network or all non-HTTP app traffic. A website keeping the same language or region may simply be using a cookie or account preference; compare its actual IP report.
Private Wi-Fi Address controls the device's address on the local Wi-Fi network. It is separate from the public exit IP a website observes, so toggling it is not how you select a public proxy.
