Mac system proxy setup ​

macOS can set a network proxy. After you configure it in System Settings, Safari and most system HTTP clients forward through that node.

macOS proxy fields for username and password are not reliable in every app. For Static Proxies or Custom Proxies, prefer IP Whitelist so the connection does not need a password:

  1. Sign in to the JoyProxy console, open the target proxy network, and go to Users & Whitelist;
  2. Click Add to whitelist to record the public IP of the Mac’s current network;
  3. For Rotating Proxies, or if you did not add a whitelist entry, check Proxy server requires a password in the macOS proxy panel and enter the long proxy username and password.

macOS Sonoma / Ventura ​

  1. Click the Apple menu () → System Settings;
  2. In the sidebar, choose Network;
  3. On the right, select the active connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet);
  4. Click Details... next to the network name;
  5. Open the Proxies tab;
  6. Enable the matching protocol:
    • HTTP / HTTPS: turn on Web proxy (HTTP) and Secure web proxy (HTTPS);
    • SOCKS5: turn on SOCKS proxy;
  7. Fill in server details:
    • Server: the Entry Point hostname from the console (for example us-ca.edge.joyproxy.com — never the Dedicated Exit IP);
    • Port: the matching port;
    • (If not on the whitelist) check Proxy server requires a password and enter Username/Password;
  8. Click OK, then Apply on the main screen.

Verify and restore ​

  • Verify: open Terminal and run curl https://ipinfo.io. Check the IP and location in the JSON;
  • Restore: return to the Proxies panel, turn the proxy switches off, and apply to go back to a direct connection.
