A step-by-step guide to connecting Prokso proxies on iPhone and iPad. It takes a few minutes.
Step 1. Get the proxy details from your dashboard
Open your plan and copy the host gw.prokso.com, port, username and password. Port 823 is HTTP and 824 is SOCKS5 (both give a new IP for every request); ports 10000–20000 keep one IP (sticky session) for up to 120 minutes and work as both HTTP and SOCKS5 (each port is a separate address). Set the country in the username: username__cr.ua.
Step 2. Get an HTTP line
iOS Wi-Fi settings support HTTP proxies only. Port 823 gives a new IP for every request. If you sign in to an account in an app, choose HTTP and “Sticky session” in the generator to get a sticky-session port (10000–20000) with one IP.
Step 3. Open your Wi-Fi network
Go to Settings → Wi-Fi and tap the i icon to the right of the network you're connected to. The proxy is set separately for each network, so configure the one you use now.
Step 4. Choose a manual proxy
Scroll to the very bottom of the network page, to the HTTP Proxy section. Tap Configure Proxy and choose Manual.
Step 5. Enter the server and port
Type gw.prokso.com in Server and 823 or your sticky port in Port. No extra spaces and no http:// at the start.
Step 6. Turn on authentication
Turn on Authentication, enter the username and password from your dashboard and tap Save in the top-right corner. If you've switched on the IP whitelist, you can leave Authentication off.
Step 7. Check in Safari
While still on this Wi-Fi network, open the My IP page in Safari on your iPhone or iPad. It should show the proxy's IP address and country. If you see your own address, check that the device hasn't switched to mobile data.
What goes through the proxy on an iPhone
A proxy from the Wi-Fi settings applies to Safari and to most apps while the device is connected to that network. On mobile data and on other Wi-Fi networks the setting is absent: it has to be set separately for each network.
Some apps open their own connections that bypass the system proxy. If an app is working but the plan's traffic in your dashboard is not growing, it is connecting directly.
If Safari does not open sites
- A typo in the server. It should be
gw.prokso.comwithouthttp://and without a trailing space. - Port 824 is entered. iOS accepts only HTTP in the Wi-Fi settings. Use 823 or a sticky port with the HTTP protocol.
- Wrong username or password. iOS may capitalize the first letter or add a space after pasting. Check both fields.
- The iPhone switched to mobile data. This happens on a weak Wi-Fi signal if the "Wi-Fi Assist" feature is turned on.
- The plan has run out of traffic. Check the remaining traffic in your dashboard.
How to avoid spending traffic for nothing
Background tasks will go through the proxy as well: downloading updates, syncing photos to the cloud, and updating apps. While you work through the proxy, pause syncing and close apps with video. When you finish, set "Configure Proxy" → "Off" again in the network settings.
FAQ
Why did the proxy disappear after I reconnected to Wi-Fi?
The setting is tied to a specific network. If you forgot the network and joined again, enter the proxy once more.
Can I use SOCKS5?
Not in the iOS settings — they support HTTP only. For SOCKS5 you need a separate proxy app.
How do I turn the proxy off?
Open the same network, tap Configure Proxy and choose Off.
Why does a site keep asking me to sign in?
You're probably on port 823, where the IP changes on every request. For accounts use a sticky 10000–20000 port.
Does the proxy apply to apps or only to Safari?
It applies to most apps. The exceptions are apps that use their own connections and calls in messengers.
Do I need to set up the proxy again on another Wi-Fi network?
Yes. iOS stores the setting separately for each network. At home, at the office, and in a cafe you have to set it three times.
