Configure Traffic Connect for AIQ Traffic Capture

Last reviewed: October 2, 2026

Use this article when configuring Traffic Connect so AIQ can capture or route traffic for supported testing workflows.

What changed in this article

• Expanded the short title into a configuration-focused Traffic Connect article.
• Added checks for network route, proxy/certificate setup, target application reachability, device or host source, and captured evidence.
• Added troubleshooting guidance for no-traffic, partial-traffic, and certificate-related capture issues.

Validation workflow

1. Confirm the traffic source, target application, network path, and certificate/proxy requirements.
2. Start Traffic Connect and verify AIQ can see expected requests without capturing unrelated sensitive traffic.
3. Run a small capture and review output before using the configuration for a full test.

Review note: This page now gives an operational setup workflow instead of a vague traffic feature label.

iOS - Proxy Settings

On your iOS device,

1. Go to Settings

2. Click Wi-Fi

3. Connect to the same network as AIQ is running.

4. Select the info (i) button

   

5. Scroll down to the HTTP Proxy section and select Auto

6. Edit the URL and add the URL of the iphone.pac file:

   NOTE: important the http:// is mandatory, if missing the proxy will not receive any traffic

   

7. Go to Manual, provide the Server (the IP address of the machine where AIQ is running)

   and the Port number (9095), the same port number provided in AIQ HTTP Proxy.

   http://<appvance-proxy-server-ip>:8080/Appvance/iphone.pac

8. It might be necessary to hit the link “Renew Lease” if you see that it takes a while for the Wi-Fi connection to apply to the iphone.pac file

iOS Proxy Settings and PAC Files for AIQ Traffic Recording

Last reviewed: September 25, 2026

Use this article when configuring iOS devices to route traffic through AIQ recording or proxy infrastructure.

What changed in this article

• Standardized “IOS” to “iOS” and tied proxy/PAC guidance to AIQ traffic recording.
• Added checks for Wi-Fi network, proxy host/port, PAC file URL, certificate trust, and app traffic behavior.
• Added a warning that VPN, MDM, or corporate network policy can override manual proxy settings.

Validation workflow

1. Connect the iOS device to the intended Wi-Fi network.
2. Configure manual proxy or PAC URL and confirm the device trusts any required recording certificate.
3. Open the target app or website and confirm traffic appears in AIQ before recording a full flow.

Review note: Made the mobile proxy setup more actionable and called out common iOS/network-policy blockers.

Android - Bypass Proxy Exceptions

Some services running in the background can affect the recording. To prevent this, filter them in Android by adding the following domains to the bypass proxy list (and very likely some more domains specific to your environment):

*.google.com, *.googleapis.com, *.localytics.com, *.microsoft.com, *.pipe.aria.microsoft.com, *.google-analytics.com, *.accuweather.com, *.uservoice.com, *.flurry.com, *.weather.com, *.crwdcntrl.net, *.w-x.co, *.acompli.net, *.g.doubleclick.net, *.adnxs.com, *.services.mozilla.com, *.gstatic.com
