[Objective-C] Set macOS system proxy

It is possible to get macOS system proxy settings with CFNetworkCopySystemProxySettings().

How to do the reverse and set system proxy settings in Objective-C?
What documentation should I read?
It this achievable in iOS as well?

Found the following documentations. I'm confused. Which one should I read? They all seem related but totally different from each other ...

Is it safe to change the Configure Proxy Access to the Internet I'm having trouble logging into a couple of sites after a recent upgrade to Firefox, but they work in Safari. I don't want to change browsers if I don't have to. I put the question to the Mozilla community and had only one reply - to go to Network Settings and change the Configure Proxy Access to the Internet to No Proxy. I am not a tech savvy person. Is it safe to try this? MacBook Air 2015, Monterey 12.3

upgrade macOS thought proxy Hello, I have a problem because in my organization. We are working on automatic proxy detection and we are not able to upgrade macOS to a higher version via proxy. I am getting scanning information, then the Mac Software is up to date - macOS Monterey 12.5. We have open traffic for *.apple.com; updates-http.cdn-apple.com; updates.cdn-apple.com; appleid.cdn-apple.com. My concern is that updates via proxy are not supported by Apple. Have any of you encountered the above problem? Do you have a reasonable solution for this? Best Wishes Greg

Using a bash script to set up Proxies on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 My company use Proxy. One Proxy for HTTP and One Proxy for HTTPS and some Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains. I was not able to reach google.com website because I had to specify the proxy which I did and everything is working as expected. But I want to automate my process instead of using the GUI. I have a strange behavior with my script below when I try to set up: System Preferences > Network > "Example Wi-Fi" > Advanced > Proxies. Again, if I set all the Proxies parameters using the GUI (manually) everything is working as expected but I if try to use my script below I am having issues like I cannot reach web sites, etc. I am pretty sure I am missing some command lines from my script. The funny things that when I run the script I can literally see all the parameters being applied to the GUI (Network > Proxies), as if I had to manually inserted. Again they are all there. I tried to reboot my Mac Laptop, I also try to reset some DNS cache but nothing, still same strange issue. What could be the issue? What command line from the script I am missing? See my script below (for security reasons I am faking the IP address and domain name.) Thank you in advance. #!/bin/bash networksetup -setwebproxy "Wi-Fi" 10.10.10.10 8080 networksetup -setsecurewebproxy "Wi-Fi" 10.10.10.20 8443 networksetup -setproxybypassdomains "Wi-Fi" "127.0.0.1,*.local,169.254/16,*.subdomain.maindomain.com,*.maindomain.com" networksetup -setwebproxystate "Wi-Fi" on
