Setting up iOS to use Nimble IP is simple, straightforward, and requires no third-party apps. iOS natively supports proxy configuration for Wi-Fi connections. By configuring Nimble on your iOS device, all network traffic on that Wi-Fi connection will route through Nimble’s residential proxy network.

Follow these steps to integrate Nimble

1

Open Wi-Fi settings

  • Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad
  • Tap Wi-Fi
  • Tap the info icon (ⓘ) next to your connected Wi-Fi network
2

Configure proxy settings

  • Scroll down to the bottom of the network details
  • Tap Configure Proxy
  • Select Manual
3

Enter Nimble proxy details

Enter the following configuration:
  • Server: ip.nimbleway.com
  • Port: 7000
  • Authentication: Toggle ON
  • Username: your pipeline username
  • Password: your pipeline password
In the Nimble User Dashboard, navigate to the Pipelines page to get your credentials.
4

Save settings

  • Tap Save in the top-right corner
  • Your device will now route traffic through Nimble’s proxy network
The proxy configuration applies only to this specific Wi-Fi network. You’ll need to repeat the setup for each Wi-Fi network where you want to use Nimble.

Important notes

  • Per-network configuration: Proxy settings are tied to specific Wi-Fi networks. If you connect to a different network, you’ll need to configure the proxy again.
  • Cellular data: This configuration only affects Wi-Fi traffic. Cellular data connections are not routed through the proxy.
  • All traffic: Once enabled, all device traffic on that Wi-Fi network routes through Nimble, including apps and system services.
That’s all! Your iOS device will now route Wi-Fi traffic through Nimble’s proxy network.
