Setting up proxy profiles for devices

You can specify how devices use a proxy server to access web services on the Internet or a work network. For,

iOS

iPadOS

macOS

, and

Android

devices, you create a proxy profile. For

Windows 10

devices, you add the proxy settings in the

Wi-Fi

or VPN profile.

Unless otherwise noted, proxy profiles support proxy servers that use basic or no authentication.

Device	Proxy configuration
iOS and iPadOS	Create a proxy profile and associate it with a Wi-Fi or VPN profile. You can assign a proxy profile to user accounts, user groups, or device groups. A proxy profile that is assigned to user accounts, user groups, or device groups is a global proxy for supervised devices only and takes precedence over a proxy profile that is associated with a Wi-Fi or VPN profile. Supervised devices use the global proxy settings for all HTTP connections.
macOS	Create a proxy profile and associate it with a Wi-Fi or VPN profile. macOS applies profiles to user accounts or devices. Proxy profiles are applied to devices.
Android	For Android Enterprise devices, create a proxy profile and associate it with a Wi-Fi profile. Android devices with MDM controls or User privacy activations don't support Wi-Fi profiles with proxy settings.
Samsung Knox	Create a proxy profile and associate it with a Wi-Fi , VPN, or enterprise connectivity profile. The following conditions apply: For Wi-Fi profiles, only proxy profiles with manual configuration are supported on Knox devices. Proxy profiles that you associate with Wi-Fi profiles support proxy servers that use basic, NTLM, or no authentication. For VPN and enterprise connectivity profiles, proxy profiles with manual configuration are supported on Samsung Knox devices with Android Enterprise activations and Samsung Knox Workspace devices that use Knox 2.5 and later. Proxy profiles with PAC configuration are supported on Samsung Knox devices with Android Enterprise activations and Knox Workspace devices that use a version of Knox that is later than 2.5. You can assign a proxy profile to user accounts, user groups, or device groups. The following conditions apply: On Knox Workspace devices and Samsung Knox devices with Android Enterprise activations, the profile configures the browser proxy settings in the work space. On Samsung Knox MDM devices, the profile configures the browser proxy settings on the device. PAC configuration is not supported on Knox Workspace devices that use Knox 2.5 and earlier and Knox MDM devices.
Windows 10	Create a Wi-Fi or VPN profile and specify the proxy server information in the profile settings. The following conditions apply: Wi-Fi proxy supports only manual configuration and is supported only on Windows 10 Mobile devices. VPN proxy supports PAC or manual configuration.
