Proxy device policy

The Proxy device policy specifies global HTTP proxy settings for supported iOS devices. You can deploy only one global HTTP proxy policy per device.

To add or configure this policy, go to Configure > Device Policies. For more information, see Device policies.

Prerequisites

Before deploying this policy, be sure to set all iOS devices for which you want to set a global HTTP proxy into Supervised mode. For details, see Deploy devices using Apple Configurator 2 or Deploy devices through the Apple Deployment Program.
