The subject pertains to configuring mobile devices running a specific operating system to utilize an intermediary server identified by a domain. This configuration allows network traffic originating from the device to be routed through a specified server before reaching its intended destination. This is often implemented using settings within the operating system’s network configuration.
Implementing such a setup can provide several benefits, including enhanced security through traffic filtering and anonymization, access to geographically restricted content, and improved network performance in some cases. Historically, such configurations were primarily used in enterprise environments to enforce security policies and monitor network usage. However, their use has expanded to individual users seeking increased privacy or access to content unavailable in their region.
