Can I set up a SOCKS5 proxy on an iPhone


Yes, you can set up a SOCKS5 proxy on an iPhone using a third-party app like Potatso Lite or Shadowrocket[1][2][4]. Here's how to do it:

1. Obtain the SOCKS5 proxy server details from your proxy service provider, including the server address, port number, username, and password[3][5].

2. Install a compatible proxy app from the App Store, such as Potatso Lite or Shadowrocket[1][4].

3. Open the proxy app and enter the SOCKS5 proxy server configuration information following the app's interface guidance[3].

4. Enable the SOCKS5 proxy in the app's settings using a toggle switch or sliding button[3].

5. Test the proxy connection by accessing a website to ensure it's working correctly[3].

It's important to note that iOS does not have built-in support for per-app SOCKS5 proxy settings. To assign proxies individually to cloned apps, you'll need to use a jailbreak tweak or a compatible proxy app that offers this functionality[4].

When choosing a SOCKS5 proxy service, select a reputable provider with a good reputation and stability. Configure authentication and encryption for added security, and regularly check and update the proxy configurations as needed[3].
