Prerequisites

Before you get started, make sure you have:

• Log in to your Bright Data dashboard and find your Host, Port, Username, and Password.

2. An iPhone running iOS 10 or later: The steps below work with most recent iOS versions.

Configuring a Proxy for a Wi-Fi Network

Step 1. Open Wi-Fi Settings

1. Go to Settings on your iPhone’s home screen.

2. Tap Wi-Fi, then select the i (info) icon next to the network you’re connected to.

Step 2. Change Proxy Settings to Manual

1. Scroll down until you see HTTP Proxy.

2. Switch from Off or Auto to Manual.

3. Toggle Authentication On.

Step 3. Input Bright Data Proxy Credentials

1. Server: Enter http://brd.superproxy.io/ (or your given Host).

2. Port: Use the port number from your Bright Data dashboard.

3. Username and Password: Provide the Bright Data login details.

4. Make sure everything is accurate.

5. Tap Save to confirm your settings.

Step 4. Test
