Setting up a proxy on IOS

Mobile devices have become an integral part of our lives. Smartphones and tablets are considered compact substitutes for a computer. With the help of the gadget, you can use the Internet, applications, social networks, etc. Today, devices with the iOS operating system are very popular, which require a special approach. Some services and web resources are blocked for iOS owners due to regional restrictions. This prevents the full use of sites in certain territories. Social networks and some foreign resources are often banned. Proxies for IOS help to bypass such restrictions. Also, personal addresses will maintain the anonymity of the user, allow you to maintain several accounts and work with foreign sites. What is a proxy server? In simple words, it is the link between the end device and the server being visited. This changes the user’s IP address and location data. Thanks to the changed information, you will be able to visit the necessary portals without any restrictions.
