ipad use of a proxy server

I have not been able to use iPad 2 in the School environment, we use a Sonic Wall Content manager. I have cross referenced the available ports from the Sonic Wall and the list i was directed to by your expressland tech. I am DHCP network set up to access a HTTP Proxy manually with the server ip entered and attempting to match the available port to gain access.


thanks for assistance

iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3

Is Sonic Wall an authenticated proxy?


If so, say good bye to most apps, many apps either fail silently on connecting or even crash behind authenticated proxies - even when the authentication details are supplied in the wireless config


I have iPads behind a smoothwall proxy (non-auth) and we have a proxy.pac file on our managment server.

This proxy.pac (http://ipad/proxy.pac - set in Auto ) directs all iPad traffic to the smoothwall proxy, rather then our default auth proxy.


Smoothwall can insert the authentication, and then direct it to your Sonic Wall
