The Different Uses of a Proxy on Your iPhone

February 1, 2022 Posted by Andrei Kuznetsov Editorial No Comments

iPhones already come with decent security and protection measures. As such, you may be wondering if a proxy is even necessary. What benefits would a residential proxy on your iPhone have that isn’t already built-in with the device? Perhaps you want to add an extra layer of privacy to your device? Or maybe you want to avoid being tracked? Do you want to find out how to make some money using your iPhone? Or ensure you cop that latest pair of limited edition sneakers?

Using residential proxies on your iPhone has many benefits. In this article, we’ll be looking at a few different ways that you can use a proxy on your iPhone. We’ll also look at how you can set up your proxy on your device. Keep reading to discover a few useful ways to use a proxy on your iPhone.

What Can You Use Residential Proxies on iPhone For?

There are many different ways to use residential proxies on your iPhone. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular uses of mobile proxies.

Hide Your Location

Proxies are primarily used for their security and privacy features. A proxy is a middleman between you and the internet and hides your IP address. Your IP address can give away a lot of information about you, such as your address, ISP and more. Residential proxies conceal your actual IP address and replace it with one from their pool. This makes it impossible to track you and protects your location, identity and other personal details.

Accessing Localized Data

A proxy can help you bypass geo-restrictions. Many proxies have IP addresses from across the world. You can use these to make it appear like you’re in a particular country so that you can access content from that country that may otherwise be hidden.

This can also be valuable in helping you get the best shopping deals possible. Prices for items can vary greatly depending on your location and even your ISP. As such, you can use a proxy to help you narrow down the best prices possible before making a purchase.

Web Scraping

If you have some extra time and want to make some extra money, you can start web scraping from your iPhone. Using a residential proxy and web scraping tools such as Octoparse and ParsHub, you can start collecting valuable data that businesses would pay for. You can find web scraping jobs on Upwork and Fiverr.

Copping the Latest Sneakers

If you’re a sneakerhead that loves getting your hands on the latest limited-edition kicks, then using a proxy on your iPhone can be a great tool to increase your chances of getting a pair before they sell out. There are many sneaker proxies available that can easily be used with sneaker bots to increase your chances of getting a limited edition.

Using Multiple SNKRS Accounts

Similar to the point above, if you’re a sneakerhead, you probably have the Nike SNKRS account on your device. This is a valuable platform where you can find news and information on any of the upcoming drops. The platform also has draws that give you an added opportunity to beat out the crowd for those limited edition sneakers you want. However, your chances don’t increase that much with only one account. If you use a rotating residential proxy, you can create multiple accounts and improve your chances more.

Managing Multiple Social Media Accounts

If you are a professional social media manager, or just do it as a side hustle, having a residential proxy set up on your iPhone means that you can continue creating and managing multiple social media accounts from your device without getting banned. Your IP address is limited to only a handful of accounts on the same platform before they start getting banned. With a rotating proxy, you have access to many different IP addresses that can be used to create and manage multiple accounts.

How to Set up a Proxy on iPhone?

You may be wondering why you would even go through the extra trouble of setting up a proxy on your iPhone. The truth is it’s actually very simple to do. If you have auto-connect enabled on your device, it only takes a few minutes to configure the proxy on your iPhone and start using it. You simply head to ‘Settings’ and then tap on the name of the Wi-Fi network you’re connected to, and that is configured with your chosen proxy. Scroll down until you reach the ‘HTTP Proxy’ option. Now simply tap on ‘Auto’, and your iPhone will use the Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol to connect to your proxy automatically.

Final Thoughts

Proxies are very valuable tools, and there are many different ones available, so they are easy to find. It is important that you carefully consider which proxy you choose. Don’t use free proxies as they put you and your data at risk. Instead, you can search for lists of the best proxy providers and get started there. Next, you’ll also have to think about what you want your proxy to do and find the provider that offers those services.
