# 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.
