iOS Proxy Setup Guide

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

​
Getting Started

Before proceeding, ensure that you have:
  • No other VPN or proxy services active.
  • The proxy endpoint and port (e.g., us.decodo.com:10101).
  • Your proxy username and password (or a set of whitelisted IPs).
📘 Proxy Guide Learn how to find proxy details for each proxy type in the dashboard [here].

​
Wi-Fi Network Settings

⚠️ App Compatibility Warning Wi-Fi proxy settings only work for browsers. Apps cannot connect through this method. iOS only supports HTTP proxies for Wi-Fi networks.

​
Step 1

Ensure you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, then open Settings.

​
Step 2

Tap Wi-Fi and select the network you are connected to.

​
Step 3

Scroll down to the HTTP Proxy section, then tap Configure Proxy.

​
Step 4

Toggle to Manual.

​
Step 5

Fill in the following fields:
  • Server (e.g., us.decodo.com)
  • Port (e.g., 10101)

​
Step 6

Configure Authentication:
  1. Toggle on Authentication.
  2. Username: Your proxy username
  3. Password: Your proxy password
📘 Note If you are using an IP whitelist instead of a proxy username and password, you can skip this step. Learn more about authentication methods [here].

​
Step 7

Tap Save.

​
Step 8

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

​
Verify the Connection

Open your browser and visit ip.decodo.com. If the setup is successful, your IP address will display the proxy’s location.

​
Disable the Proxy

To disable the proxy, simply tap Off in the Configure Proxy section, then tap Save again.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Blocklist

⚠️ Target Access Notice Please note that access to certain domain names is restricted. Click [here] to learn more.

​
Direct IP

Direct IP Parameter Support If you have purchased an IP list, you can use the direct IP parameter in your proxy username: user-username-ip-x.x.x.x Supported Plans: DC Pay/IP, Dedicated DC, ISP Pay/IP, Dedicated ISP Plans. Products that provide access to the full proxy pool (e.g., Residential Proxies) do not support this parameter.

​
IP:Port Format

Decodo proxies do not support the default IP:PORT format. You must use the endpoint rotator format (e.g., us.decodo.com:10101). If necessary, try the workaround [here], but it only works temporarily and requires reinstallation after updates.
