FAQ

Application “X” does not seem to work with iProxy. What’s going on?

The application needs support for socks proxies. This usually is true for most (but not all!) Mac applications. They just use the proxy settings from the network configuration and should just be fine. Some application (like Firefox) have separate proxy settings you need to change (check the advanced network settings). If you run into problems with Mail.app this discussion might be useful. Most console application can be “socksified” transparently via tsocks if native support is lacking.

Where can I find and update the “Distribution.mobileprovision” file?

Go to Apple’s “Developer Program Portal”. First you will need to add the new device. Then go to the provisioning section. Create or modify a “Distribution Provisioning Profile” to include the newly added device. Make sure the profile is of type “ad-hoc” and submit it. Once the status is “active” again, download it and move it into the root folder of iProxy as “Distribution.mobileprovision”. Rebuild and you should be good to go.
