How can I back up my proxy configurations before resetting network settings


To back up your proxy configurations on an iPhone before resetting network settings, you can follow these steps:

1. Note down the hostname and port number of your proxy server. This information is typically provided by your network administrator or proxy service.

2. If you are using a proxy that requires authentication, make a note of the username and password as well.

3. If you have manually installed any SSL certificates for the proxy, such as when using tools like Charles or OWASP ZAP, make sure to note down the certificate names. You will need to reinstall and trust these certificates after resetting network settings.

4. If you have any custom proxy settings configured for specific apps, make a note of those as well. For example, some apps may have a proxy configured in their settings.

5. If you are using a VPN in conjunction with the proxy, make a note of the VPN settings too, including the server address, username, password, and any other configuration details.

After resetting network settings, you will need to re-enter the proxy details in Settings > Wi-Fi > [Your Network] > Configure Proxy > Manual. Reinstall any necessary SSL certificates and trust them in Settings > General > About > Certificate Trust Settings. Reconfigure any app-specific proxy settings and VPN connections as well.

By noting down the relevant proxy information beforehand, you can easily restore your proxy setup after resetting network settings on your iPhone without having to reconfigure everything from scratch.
