01
A fuller device workspace
Filter by state, open device details and related sessions, and export the filtered device records.
MonoProxy for iPhone and iPad
An iPhone proxy server.
An iPhone proxy server.
HTTP and SOCKS5.
Run an HTTP, HTTPS CONNECT and SOCKS proxy on your iPhone. Connect your Mac, Windows PC or test devices on the same local network, then see their connections and real traffic.
One port, multiple protocols
See devices and traffic
One purchase. No subscription.
No account to create. The proxy service runs on your device.
Your proxy, in view
Devices, traffic and connection evidence.
What’s new
See the connection. Manage every device.
Explore richer device details, session analysis and connection diagnostics, plus easier profile imports and exports. Network recovery, audio handling and runtime safeguards have also been refined.
02
Analyse sessions
Group filtered snapshots by protocol and destination, then inspect or export the underlying records.
03
More useful diagnostics
Filter diagnostic records by stage and result, inspect resource status and preview a redacted report before sharing.
04
A better profile library
Search and sort profiles, preview import changes, choose exports and duplicate a configuration without copying its password.
05
Recovery and runtime refinements
Improve service recovery after network changes, with refinements to audio handling, authentication safeguards and resource management.
A clear connection path
Start it. Connect it. Know it works.
MonoProxy keeps “the port is open” separate from “a client is connected” and “traffic really moved,” so every status has a precise meaning.
01
Choose and start
Select the Wi-Fi or LAN address your client can reach, then start the service.
02
Connect a device
Copy the address, scan a configuration, or follow the platform guide.
03
Verify real traffic
Watch Listening become Client Connected, then Traffic Verified after bytes transfer.
One hub on your network
Put the iPhone at the center.
Run MonoProxy once, then point the computers, tablets and test devices already on the same local network at one endpoint.
The complete toolkit
Everything needed to run and understand the connection.
The latest MonoProxy interface keeps configuration simple while exposing the details that matter when you need them.
New iOS interface · Simulator captures with local test sessions. Select a screenshot to enlarge.
Session analysis
See what the sessions have in common
Analyse the filtered snapshot by protocol and destination, inspect the records behind each group and export what you need.
Devices
Manage each connected device
Inspect a device’s connection count and traffic, open its sessions, or disconnect and block it when needed.
Diagnostics
Find the next useful check
Check the network interface, listener, client connection and verified traffic separately. Preview a redacted diagnostic report before sharing.
Guided setup
Configuration made shareable
Open Connect a Device, select a platform and follow its setup steps. The macOS guide includes Companion discovery and manual proxy setup.
Control
Settings that stay out of the way
Control skins, animations, the proxy port, SOCKS support, authentication and local history in the iOS app.
One port
Multiple proxy protocols, one endpoint
HTTP, HTTPS CONNECT, plain WebSocket, SOCKS4, SOCKS4a and SOCKS5 share the same host and port. MonoProxy detects the client protocol automatically.
Less proxy friction on Mac.
Find nearby MonoProxy services, verify the proxy path and try backup configurations when connection attempts fail. Proxy Companion makes connecting your Mac to your iPhone’s proxy easier.
- Automatic service scanning
- Automatic availability checks
- Automatic failover
Another address to type
Automatically scan for nearby phone proxies
Continuously discover running MonoProxy services on the same local network. Add a discovered service as a configuration and connect; manual address entry is also available.
Proxy sign-in keeps interrupting
Save once. Let Companion authenticate.
Store your proxy credentials in macOS Keychain. Companion authenticates the connections it manages, so those apps do not each need to enter the upstream proxy credentials again.
The browser works. Other apps do not.
Go beyond system proxy settings
Transparent mode handles eligible app connections, including apps that ignore system proxy settings. Rules let you proxy, connect directly or block. First use requires network extension approval.
A failed connection with no clue why
See the app, destination and failure stage
Inspect connection records, matched rules and diagnostic stages to find the next useful check.
A proxy is listed, but will it work?
Automatically check proxy availability
Verify the proxy path before connecting and keep checking the active connection. Configure HTTP/HTTPS check targets or check a saved proxy separately when needed.
A proxy fails, and you have to pick again
Automatically try a backup proxy
Enable automatic failover to try eligible, same-mode backup configurations in priority order after a failed connection attempt. Compatibility mode also supports switching after a detected runtime failure.
Switching policy: discovery refresh does not switch a healthy connection. An established transparent-mode connection that fails blocks proxied traffic and retries its current upstream. Switching may interrupt existing sessions.
Connect your iPhone and Mac in three steps
Start on iPhone
Keep both devices on the same local network and start the proxy service. Open Connect a Device and select macOS.
Add it on Mac
In Companion, add the discovered phone service as a configuration. If discovery is unavailable, enter the address and port shown on iPhone.
Connect and verify
Enter the proxy credentials if required, then connect. Open a page and confirm verified traffic in the iOS app.
Proxy Companion for Mac is a separate app. The setup guide also includes manual macOS configuration.
Make it yours
Three moods. The same clear status.
Choose a color that suits your workspace without changing how the connection workflow behaves.
Fresh Green
Bright, calm and focused
Soft Purple
Expressive without distraction
Midnight
Comfortable in low light
Private by design
Your traffic stays yours.
MonoProxy runs on your iPhone without an account, analytics SDK or remote backend. It relays encrypted connections without installing certificates or inspecting content.
One paid app, every capability included.
No subscription, in-app upgrade, account or feature tier.
Read the privacy policy →
Credentials stay local
Proxy credentials remain on the device and never appear in connection logs.
No tracking
No profiling, third-party analytics or remote traffic collection.
TLS stays end to end
HTTPS tunnels are relayed without certificate installation or decryption.
History is optional
Local host history and site totals are bounded, optional and clearable.
iPhone proxy setup: HTTP and SOCKS5
Connect nearby devices through the proxy server running on your iPhone. Start with the protocol your client supports.
Can I use my iPhone as a SOCKS5 proxy server?
Yes. Enable SOCKS in MonoProxy and use the address and shared service port shown in the app. Enter the same proxy credentials on your client when authentication is enabled. Keep the devices on the same reachable local network.
How do I set up an iPhone proxy on Mac or Windows?
Start MonoProxy, then enter its address and port in your client’s HTTP proxy settings or use the PAC setup. On Mac, Proxy Companion can discover the service and route eligible apps. The setup guides explain each option.
Is MonoProxy a VPN or a proxy server?
MonoProxy is a local HTTP, HTTPS CONNECT and SOCKS proxy server. It does not supply a hosted proxy or VPN network. Client apps must use the local proxy endpoint, or connect through a compatible desktop proxy client.
Make your iPhone the local proxy hub.
Start once, connect your devices, and see when real traffic arrives.
