Disabling Internet Proxy on iOS Devices

This article applies to:

• Trustwave Mobile Security
• iOS Devices

Question:

• How do I disable use of a proxy for WiFi networks on iOS?

Background:

• Trustwave recommends that mobile devices should not use a proxy server for WiFi network connections, unless the proxy is required on a trusted organizational network (such as a company or school network).
• If Trustwave Mobile Security warns you about proxy settings, but you are connected to a trusted network, check with your IT helpdesk or network administrator to make sure the proxy is required. 

Procedure:

You must complete these actions for each WiFi network where Mobile Security warns you about proxy settings.

To disable use of proxy:

1. On the iPhone or iPad, open Settings > Wi-Fi.
2. Tap the name of the network that you are connected to.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the screen to see the section HTTP PROXY.
   
   
4. Tap Off.
