Proxy server setting for AppStore

Hello

Is there a way to make AppStore work via a proxy server?

In my case all MACs behind Squid Proxy server and no matter what exclusions I make on proxy, AppStore won't purchase apps. All works well until I click INSTALL.

Looking at proxy log files I can see AppStore getting page components (ie. jpg images) from non-Apple site(s), but it looks like AppStore's purchase process ignores proxy settings and trying DIRECT connection.

If AppStore ignores proxy setting, what would be the IP address(es) for appstore servers to add firewall exclusions.

Thanks

You can set an HTTP-proxy for your current WiFi network in iPad settings:

Settings > Wi-Fi > [Your WiFi Network Name / SSID] - tap the blue “i” icon, then scroll down to the Configure Proxy section

Proxy settings are configured for each WiFi network - and can configure server, port and authentication. Whether or not this will resolve your current issue, you will need to experiment.
