It’s now time to configure your iOS device. Make sure your WIFI connection is turned on.

  1. Go to your device’s ‘Settings’, go to 'WIFI' and click on your local WIFI network.

  2. Click ‘Configure Proxy' and got to the ‘Configure Proxy’ settings page. By default this option is Off. Select the Manual option to enable the proxy.

  3. Enter data for the server and the port. Look at the proxy settings we provided earlier:
    1. For the server, enter the text displayed in the current proxy field.
      Don’t include the colon and port number at the end and don't include the "http://" prefix.
    2. Enter the port number in the ‘port’ field.
    3. Set the Authentication to "disabled".
